GRR: Davenport University
Davenport upended Iowa Centra CC 36-10 in a very useful preseason game for both teams.
For the Panthers, it was a pretty good showing considering they have been back on campus for just over a week. Head Coach Dustin Steedman said he was proud of his players for working hard against a very tenacious Triton side.
With the imminent dissolution of the Mid-South D1A Conference, a new conference will be formed for the 2023-24 collegiate season.
Lindenwood shut out Davenport 32-0 Saturday playing in what was essentially a blizzard, handing the Panthers their first conference loss of the season and providing a lesson in off-field preparation for difficult playing conditions.
In a final worthy of the name that had pretty much everything, Queens University Charlotte beat Davenport University in overtime to take the NIRA Women's DII championship Saturday.
The game, shown live on ESPN+, was held at Burnham Field at Dartmouth College in chilly but fair conditions.
When new college conferences are formed, merged into one, the same question always presents itself—"what will you do if you finish last?"—because someone is going to finish last.
