The Panthers
Last week, the Panthers dropped their first match to a division II opponent since losing to Notre Dame College in the 15's national championships, as they fell to Lindenwood 15-6. The Panthers were unable to record a single try in the contest, as Danielle Ordway was responsible for all six of the Davenport points by converting a pair of penalty kicks.

Ordway leads the Panthers with 144 total points, which includes a team high of 26 tries.

Last Meeting
Davenport and Michigan is no stranger to one another as the two squared off earlier in the fall season on the Turf Field, which ended in a 32-7 Panther victory. The Panthers and Wolverines have met a combined three times in the two years of Davenport's program history, with the Panthers leading the series 2-1.

This will be the only regular season home event for the Panthers this spring.
