GRR: Davenport University
The first two rounds in the new Midwest D1A Conference didn’t yield much in the way of drama, but we got it this past weekend.
Lindenwood and Davenport came into the game having both beaten Adrian and McKendree (those two meet this coming weekend) and ready for what has become a nicely heated rivalry match.
Here's a look at D1A team results around the nation.
Davenport Handles HoosiersDavenport showed off a very impressive result over the weekend, beating Indiana 52-3.
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.
