FINDLAY, Ohio – Davenport competed in their final non-conference game of the 2018 season and hit a speed bump against Findlay University. The Panthers went 2-2 during their four game non-conference schedule and had their ups and down over the last week. Over the teams two wins DU averaged 24 goals per game, during the two losses DU averaged just 5.5 goals per game. The Panthers offense was stifled against Findlay and Saint Leo, but inconsistency is expected with a young team. The Panthers scored two goals during period one and two at Findlay.
