Davenport Tripped Up by Parkside in Kenosha, 67-60

KENOSHA, Wis. - With the score tied at 44-44 and just under seven minutes to play, Parkside scored the game's next 10 points to secure its biggest lead of the game, 54-44, and take hold of all of the momentum. From that point until the final buzzer, Davenport could never get closer than five points (58-53 and 63-58) as the Rangers snapped the Panthers' four-game winning streak with a score of 67-60.

Davenport falls to 6-3 overall and 2-1 in GLIAC play while Parkside gets back to the .500 mark on the young season at 4-4 and moves above that mark in league action, also at 2-1. Next up for the Panthers, they'll be at Purdue Northwest (3-7, 0-3 GLIAC) on Saturday with the opening tip scheduled for 4 PM ET in Hammond, Ind.

Thursday, a trio of Panthers scored in double-figures including Chris Rollins (17), Marcedus Leech Jr. (13) and Jakub Dombek (13). Leech Jr. and Dombek each came within one rebound of a double-double, Leech Jr. dished out three assists, Jairus Stevens notched Davenport's lone block, and four different Panthers registered a steal apiece.

As the low scoring would suggest, neither team shot particularly well from the field. In fact, both teams shot 37.9 percent from the floor including 25-of-66 for Davenport and 22-of-58 for Parkside. Offensively, the biggest difference came at the free throw line where the Rangers (16-for-23) made 12 more attempts than the Panthers (4-for-6) and Davenport didn't attempt a free throw until the 8:10 mark of the second half. For the night, UWP committed just 10 fouls to DU's 18.

Parkside led by as many as nine, 18-9, in the first half and was up eight, 32-24 heading into the locker room. Out of the break, Davenport used an 11-2 run to take its second of three leads in the game, 35-34. Following three more lead changes and three more ties, the final being 44-44, the Rangers utilized that 10-0 spurt and didn't look back.
