EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The Davenport University softball team returned to action at the Blue Bridge Battle falling to both No. 14 Indianapolis and Northwood at the Deaconess Sports Park on Friday.

Holding a 3-0 lead after the second inning, the Greyhounds (10-2, 0-0 GLVC) were able to break the game open. The Panthers registered their second out of the inning with trailing 6-0, but they couldn't get the Greyhounds offense off the field as they scored six more runs, totaling nine in the inning.

Brooke Bernt broke the cold streak for Davenport, registering the team's first hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. Kaycee Loehr singled through the left side moments later to bring Bernt home and end the scoring drought for DU.
