GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After two road matchups in Ohio last week, the Panthers shift to the other half of the Midwest as they travel to Illinois to face Lewis on Thursday, Nov. 20. Davenport then returns home for its first non-conference home opener of the 2025 season, hosting Tiffin on Saturday, Nov. 22.

Sophomore guard and Division I Purdue Fort Wayne transfer Maddie Geers made an immediate impact in her Davenport debut, scoring 22 points against Walsh and following with 14 more at Ohio Dominican, averaging 18.0 points for the weekend. Additional offensive contributors included sophomore Anna Axtell, who totaled 19 points (9.5 per game), along with redshirt sophomore Kayla Covington and senior Ellie Toney, each finishing with 16 points (8.0 per game).

Defensively, Covington and Reese Polega each grabbed nine rebounds, with Covington's physical style also showing in her seven personal fouls across the opening weekend. Maya Mitchell leads the team with six steals and will look to continue building on those numbers as the Panthers progress through their non-conference slate.
