The Davenport Report – 7-16-0-0, 6-10-0-0 CCWHA
The Panthers, who are midway through their season-long and ending eight-game road trip, return to action for the first time since dropping two Central Collegiate Women's Hockey Association games to Robert Morris (Ill.) two weeks ago. Despite the losses, Davenport snapped its four-game scoreless streak. Darian Adams and leading scorer Lexie Boydston scored two goals and points leader Chantal Caraher added one along with an assist. Caraher is one away from her 40^th point on the year, having net 18 goals and tallying 21 assists. Boydston currently paces the team with 20 goals and Adams has 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points to round out the Panthers currently in double figures on the year.
