MARQUETTE, Mich. — Davenport University and Northern Michigan University ended in a 1-1 draw on Saturday at NMU Soccer Field. Both teams scored in the second half, with Davenport registering 11 shots on goal compared to the Wildcats' three. Despite Davenport's offensive pressure, Northern Michigan's goalkeeper made 10 saves to preserve the tie.
 
Davenport and Northern Michigan ended the first half scoreless, with both teams unable to convert their opportunities. The Panthers' defense held steady despite committing nine fouls, while their offense managed six shots, two of which were saved by Northern's goalkeeper, Asaf Kristal. Northern Michigan matched the shot attempts but struggled with accuracy, as several attempts went off-target. The half closed with the score 0-0.
 
The Panthers and Wildcats both found the net during the second half, resulting in a 1-1 draw by the end. Despite playing down a man after Maxamillian Postlewait received a red card in the 69th minute, the Panthers responded quickly to the Wildcats' opening goal in the 68th minute with Ryan Sheffer's equalizer in the 71st. The visiting team applied pressure with eight corner kicks and multiple shots on target, but Northern's Kristal made several key saves to maintain the tie.
 
Ryan Sheffer scored the Panthers' lone goal, now leading the team in goals this season and recently playing a major role in Davenport's offensive efforts. In goal, Beau Hudd recorded one save while also assisting on the team's only goal. Charlie Davis was a force in the midfield, taking five shots with three on target, and Easton Lopez added to the attack with four shots, two of them on goal, keeping consistent pressure on the Wildcats' defense.
 
Kristal led the Wildcats with a strong performance in goal, recording 10 saves across 90 minutes of play, facing 23 shots and allowing only one goal. Luca Rosen was instrumental in the offensive half, scoring the team's sole goal and leading with 10 shots, including one on target. Teun Van Gansewinkel contributed to the attack with four shots, one of which was on target, while Davian Gumbs also made his presence felt with four shots and one on goal.
 
Looking ahead, the Panthers will defend their home turf against the Wildcats on Oct. 17. The match is set for a 2 p.m. clash in Caledonia, Mich.
