He is also second on the team in assists with 10, just three behind Parker Horvath's 13. Horvath is also second the team in total points with 24. Devon Benson and Jack Turcotte are tied for second in goals scored with 14 a piece, and Kyle Oswald's 25 ground balls are good for a team high as well.
 
WHAC Championship
 
Saturday's WHAC Championship match dates all the way back to October when Davenport hosted a WHAC tournament involving Lourdes and Aquinas, as the Panthers defeated both teams to earn a title match with Indiana Tech. Indiana Tech. clinched a spot in the championship game by defeating Siena Heights 11-10 in a thriller.
