CALEDONIA, Mich. — With just two GLIAC matchups remaining, Davenport University looks to finish the regular season strong as the Panthers travel to Saginaw Valley State on Oct. 29 before returning home to host St. Cloud State on Nov. 2.

Following a split weekend that included a 1-0 victory over Purdue Northwest and a 1-0 loss to Roosevelt, goalkeeper Beau Hudd tallied seven saves while facing 29 shots and allowing just one goal. Maxamillian Postlewait found the back of the net against Purdue Northwest, marking his third goal of the season.

Freshman Charlie Davis continues to make a strong offensive impression, leading the team with 41 shots — ranking second in the GLIAC — with 21 of those on target, placing him third in the conference. Trailing closely behind Davis are Drew Matyunas with 24 shots and Aidan Orth with 21. Davis and Ruan Sheffer lead the Panthers in scoring with four goals apiece.

Davenport currently sits in fifth place in the GLIAC standings, trailing Northern Michigan by four conference points and narrowly ahead of St. Cloud State and Purdue Northwest — making the next two games crucial for postseason positioning.
