GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Making their home debut for the fall of 2021, the Panthers hosted Grand Valley State, but were unable to overcome a 2-0 match deficit and fell to the Lakers in four sets. Not to be overlooked, though, was another stellar effort from Hayley Kreiger as the senior racked up 31 kills (broke her own school record) on 75 total attacks (new school record). Next up on the schedule, Davenport will travel to Big Rapids and face Ferris State (6-4, 1-2 GLIAC) on Sunday with the opening serve set for 4 p.m.
