BIG RAPIDS, Mich. – The Panthers earned the right to compete in the GLIAC Tournament for the second consecutive year. However, similar to last year, Davenport was bounced in the quarterfinals. This year Davenport took on a very talented Ferris State, who came into the game having only lost two games all season. The Bulldogs scored four unanswered goals before Davenport scored their lone goal during the 87^th minute of play.

Ferris State snuck in one goal to lead 1-0 at halftime.
 
The start of the second half was not what the Panthers were looking for. The Bulldogs scored just 19 seconds into the half, creating a two-goal deficit for Davenport to overcome.

Davenport got on the board late with a header from Sabrina Stone finding the back of the net, assisted by Alice Linsell.
