Fab Four Bound Again!
Davenport is making its second straight appearance in the NAIA Tourament semifinals and third in the last four years. Davenport has beaten Walsh (Ohio) 68-55 in 2011 and then three-time defending national champion Northwestern Iowa 74-68 last year.
 
Keep on Dancing
Davenport got its 10th consecutive appearance in the NAIA Division II Tournament underway in an another impressive win as an early offensive run helped the Panthers roll past 15th-ranked Purdue Calumet 110-77 Friday. The Panthers improved to 16-9 in the national tournament and have reached as far as the championship game (2011, 2013).
 
Welcome to the 1,000-Point Club Tiesha
Sophomore Tiesha Stokes joined an elite group in Saturday's 70-52 win over Hastings as she got the 13 points she needed to become the 12th student-athlete in school history to reach 1,000 career points. It is also the second consecutive year a Panther achieved the millennium mark in the national tournament. Karli Harris earned her 1,000th point as a Panther against College of Saint Mary in the first round.
 
A Quick Look at the Ozarks
The seventh-seeded Lady Bobcats have solidified themselves as the Cinderella team this year after knocking out the quadrant's top seed Northwestern Iowa 90-69 Saturday night. Ozarks outshot Northwestern Iowa 40.8 percent to 31.9 from the field and had four players break the 20-point barrier. Leading scorer Alice Heinzler had 21 points and was one short from Emily Walker's game-leading 22.
