Early Spark and Lineup Shifts Define Panthers’ Season Opener

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The Panthers built an early 22-5 lead behind its starting XV before making wholesale changes at halftime in a preseason match up with Marian on Saturday, August 30th. 

For Davenport Head Coach Dom Bailey, the opening half provided a strong glimpse of what to expect from his front-line group.

"I was pleased with my team in the first half and their performance," said Bailey. "Marian really surprised me and they played well. For the second team in the second half this was a test and assessment for me to see where they are at. We got a lot of good learnings for us to take away." 

Next up, Davenport will travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to face Mount St. Mary's in a 1:00 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, Sept. 6.
