CALEDONIA, Mich. – The Panthers wrapped up their 10th and 11th matches of the season with back-to-back draws, finishing 2-2 against Parkside and 1-1 against Northern Michigan.

Following last week's contests, Ryan Sheffer continues to make his offensive presence known, scoring a goal in each of his last four appearances. The streak brings his season total to four goals in as many matches. In goal, Beau Hudd has faced 136 shots this season, recording 31 saves for a .721 save percentage. Hudd also notched his first career assist against Northern Michigan, helping Sheffer secure his fourth goal of the year.

This weekend holds extra significance for the Panthers as the program will honor its three graduating seniors, Jacob Lee, Austin Hall, and Max Wilhelm, during Senior Day on Sunday.

Historically, Davenport leads the all-time series with Northern Michigan, holding an 8-3-7 record.
