GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The final home game of the regular season for the men's soccer team was a driving rain storm and after a first half lead of 1-0, the Panthers scored six goals in the second half for a 7-0 victory over Siena Heights.
Cam Cavanagh scored twice for Davenport while
Tyler Collishaw and
Brogan Shrimpton each had a goal and two assists.
Cavanagh scored the only goal of the first half at 21:20 from
TJ Ifaturoti and Collishaw. The three players played a perfect one-touch sequence as Cavanagh was wide open up close and finished easily for his fourth goal of the season.
Davenport had 14 shots in the first half and many quality chances but Leo Hisamatsu made four saves in goal for the Saints.
Jake Love scored at 58:28 on a pretty goal for his eighth of the season. Love got a feed from Collishaw and used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball over the keeper's head from 18 yards. Collishaw was then tripped up in the box at 65:44 and took the penalty kick which Hisamatsu got a piece of but could not prevent the goal.
Cavanagh's second goal of the game at 68:53 came from Love on a cross from left wing as Cavanagh's header came in front with no one around him. A gap of 13-plus minutes without a goal ended at 82:27 as
Brayden Texer scored the team's fifth goal and his third of the season from Shrimpton. Texer got a cross from right wing and booted a one-timer from 20 yards.
Just over four minutes later it was
Craig McBride scoring his first of the season as he stepped up from his defensive post and ripped a shot into the top left corner from 27 yards with Shrimpton getting the assist. Shrimpton ended the scoring with 57 seconds left as
Emir Cengic chipped a ball into the box and Hisamatsu had it go between his hands to the foot of Shrimpton who kicked into an open net from 15 yards for his fifth of the season.
Davenport managed 27 shots and 15 shots on goal in the game while Siena Heights had three shots and one shot on goal which came in the second half.
Aaron Orban got the shutout in goal for DU.
