Conference Champs!!


This Saturday, our very own Davenport University woman's basketball team won the WHAC conference to our cross town rival Cornerstone University 80 to 74; winning our sixth straight WHAC conference championship. Leading the panthers was Carrie Grubius with 17 points along with Karli Harris with 16 points and Abby Neff with 14 points. The lady panthers trailed most of the game, but a late 16 to 3 scoring run helped them come back to win the game; they fought till the very last second, proving that they deserved to be WHAC champions. Congratulations Ladies for the sixth straight WHAC title.
