The Panthers
The Panthers are currently firing on all cylinders as they bring a three-game winning streak into Saturday's contest, which includes a commanding 26-7 victory over Mid-South rival Lindenwood, and the opening round 38-8 victory over Wheeling-Jesuit.
 
Reece Czarnecki and Anthony Welmers each recorded a pair of tries in ths win over Wheeling-Jesuit, and Jean Pierre Eloff led all Panther scorers with 18 points including a try of his own.

Davenport will once again be without its All-American prop in Angus MacLellan for the second straight week, as he is currently in South America, touring with the USA Rugby Selects.
 
The Matchup
Saturday's contest will be a rematch of last year's opening round of the 2014 D1A Playoffs, where Army visited the Panthers on the DU Turf Field, where the Panthers came out victorious with a 28-24 victory after a last minute Reece Oberlin try.
 
This will be Army's first match of the 2015 D1A playoffs, as they earned a first round bye after winning the eastern division conference title this year.
