A Quick Look at Aquinas
Nineteen-year head coach Linda Nash has had her work cut out this season, having not only to deal with a young roster - two seniors, one junior and sophomores and six freshmen - but injuries earlier in the season. The Saints are coming off a 79-55 road loss to Northwestern Ohio and have suffered three defeats in four games.
 
Panthers vs. Saints
This will be the 25th meeting between Davenport and Aquinas, with the Panthers not only winning the series 18-6 but have won 17 straight over the Saints. Including Cornerstone, Davenport is 34-15 in the Battle of the Beltline.
 
The Last Time They Met
Davenport caused Aquinas 25 turnovers and managed to produce 30 points off those mistakes in the Panthers 86-42 win at the Saints' Sturris Athletic Center last November. Daina Grazulis recorded 19 points and a dozen rebounds for a double-double while freshman Angela Hubert went 3-for-4 from the 3-point line and finished the game with 13 points. Davenport combined for 53 percent from the floor. Aquinas had struggled finding the bucket in their gym, going 10-for-34 (24 percent). Chelsea Matley led Aquinas with 14 points and was the only player in double figures.
