Panthers Drop Season Opener to William Jewell

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Davenport University men's basketball team opened its 2023-24 season Friday afternoon against William Jewell at the GLIAC/GLVC Crossover Tournament, falling 86-57.

Myles Belyeu scored his first points as a Panther to give DU a 2-0 lead 12 seconds into the game. After surrendering the early lead, Jakub Dombek drained a three-pointer to put Davenport up 7-6 three minutes into the game. However, it was the last lead of the game for the Panthers (0-1, 0-0 GLIAC), as the Cardinals (1-0, 0-0 GLVC) got out to a 19-point advantage (33-14) with three minutes remaining in the first half.

Out of the break, Marcedus Leech Jr. scored five points in the first 50 seconds to trim the Panther deficit to 15. However, WJC maintained their double-digit lead the entire second half.

Leading the way for the Panthers was Belyeu, finishing with a team-high nine points in the loss. Dombek ended the game with eight points, six rebounds and three blocks, while Raishaun Brown added eight points, three assists and two rebounds.
