CALEDONIA, Mich. - The Davenport men's soccer team swept the season series with Purdue Northwest after a dominant 4-0 victory under the lights on Friday. They outscored the Pride 7-0 in both wins this season. Tonight's win also moved the Panthers into sole possession of second place in the GLIAC with 21 points. Parkside currently leads with 25 points. DU is now 7-6 overall and 7-3 in the conference. Purdue Northwest falls to 1-11-2 overall and 1-7-2 in the conference.

"It was a great effort from the whole team tonight. We had several players get on the board and most importantly we found another shutout. We will continue to try to get better daily."
