Heading into this week’s game, GVSU and Davenport sit third and fourth, respectively, in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) standings. Both teams share a 2-1 overall record, making this year’s meeting one of the most evenly matched in their series history.

Davenport is coming off a strong 35-16 win over Northern Michigan in its GLIAC opener. After conceding an early field goal, the Panthers responded with dominant play, carrying momentum that could drive them toward their first win against Grand Valley State.

GVSU, on the other hand, is looking to rebound after a narrow 17-14 loss to Pittsburg State. Despite a scoreless first half, the Lakers rallied with two touchdowns, but an early field goal by Pittsburg State ultimately sealed the loss. GVSU will aim to bounce back as they begin GLIAC play.
