About the Panthers:
ODU defeated the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds 2-1 in last Thursday's season opener for both teams. The Panthers trailed 1-0 entering the break after managing only three shots, but second half goals by Liam Fitzgerald (Sr./Hudson, OH) and Duncan Campbell (Fr./Hilliard, OH) gave ODU the come-from-behind road victory and its first win as an NCAA Division II program.
About the Timberwolves:
Northwood enters the game with a 2-0 record, defeating No. 3 Lewis University 3-1 in their season opener, and following that up with a 2-1 victory over Saginaw Valley State.
