Panthers push No. 12 Lynn into overtime before falling 3-2

Evan Marquess and Matt Whelan each scored their first goals of the season

BOCA RATON, Fla. - The men's soccer team was back on the pitch for the second time this season and made the 136-mile trip south from Melbourne to Boca Raton to take on 12th-ranked Lynn University on Sunday morning. The Panthers played a much better game and took the Fighting Knights into overtime before falling 3-2. Davenport is now 0-2 while Lynn is now 2-0.

COACHES CORNER
"Our boys came to play today and we were very good. We went toe-to-toe with the number 12 team in the country. We chose to start our season in Florida to see what the top end of Division II looks like. We now know that this trip will be well worth it in the long run. Many of the boys performed at a high level and did exactly what was asked. I'm proud of our boys and staff and the future looks bright."

NOTES AND NUMBERS
- The story of this one was the play of Rodrigo Fernandez for Lynn. The senior from Mexico City, Mexico scored all three of his team's goals for the hat trick. He had five shots and four shots on goal for the match. He scored in the 44th minute on a free kick to the right post. He added another in the 55th minute and then scored the winner in the 94th minute from Lukas Hombach on a free kick from left wing headed into the right side of the net.
- Evan Marquess scored for Davenport in the first 48 seconds of the second half to tie the game at 1-1. Matt Whelan assisted on Marquess first goal of the season and the second of his career.
- Whelan tied the game at 2-2 in the 73rd minute with Miguel Flores on the assist. It was the first of the season for Whelan and seventh of his career at DU.
