Davenport Matchup
Davenport enters the postseason looking to build on last year's semifinal run and continue its streak of seven straight GLIAC Tournament appearances. The Panthers have relied on a balanced attack this season, led by true freshman midfielder Charlie Davis, who has made an immediate impact in his debut campaign. Davis leads the team in goals (5), assists (5), points (15), shots (47), and shots on goal (24).
Across the conference, Davis ranks first in assists, tied for second in shots, third in shots on goal, fourth in game-winning goals, sixth in points, and seventh in goals—making him one of only a few players to appear among the GLIAC leaders in all six major offensive categories.
Defensively, Beau Hudd has started and played in 15 matches for DU, allowing just 17 goals after facing 246 shots and recording 67 saves for a 4-7-4 record.

Parkside Matchup
Senior forward Eduardo Aguilera-Guillen, a Chicago native, leads the Rangers in goals (7), points (17), shots (36), and shots on goal (15). Aguilera-Guillen ranks second in the GLIAC in goals, fourth in points, and eighth in shots, and will look to continue his strong offensive form in Sunday's matchup.
