Bourbonnais, Ill. - Competing for the first time in 2022 on Saturday, the Davenport University swimming & diving teams were in the Land of Lincoln at the Olivet Nazarene Tri-Meet facing the likes of the Tigers (NAIA) and the Lewis Flyers (DII - GLVC). On the men's side, the Panthers defeated fifth-ranked Olivet Nazarene, 145-125, but fell to 25th-ranked Lewis, 185-76. For the women, DU topped the Flyers, 167-110, but came up short to the second-ranked Tigers, 164-110.

"It was nice to get back in the water and compete," said head coach, Justin Vasquez. "I am happy with the energy and effort our team displayed today. We are finishing up a tough training cycle and it is always hard to compete on the road in January. As a team, we are in a good place right now with the GLIAC Championships coming up in a couple of weeks."

Overall, the men earned nine top-three finishes, including one victory, while the women were among the top three on 17 occasions and won five events. A deeper dive into those top-three finishes can be found below while the full results are linked at the top of this article.

Next up on the schedule, Davenport will be at Calvin on Friday, Jan. 21 at 5 p.m. The men will face just the Knights while the women will line it up against both Calvin and Hillsdale.
