GREENSBORO (Interstat) — Davenport used an early 3-point barrage to seize control and never let go, defeating Olivet 99-35 in a non-divisional women’s NCAA Division III basketball game Tuesday at Hanes Gym in Greensboro, N.C. The visiting Cornets fell to 0-2 while Davenport controlled the game from the opening minutes in front of an announced attendance of 125.

The decisive stretch came immediately. Anna Axtell hit a 3-pointer 16 seconds into the game, Maddie Geers followed with a layup, and Axtell buried another 3 to make it 8-0. After Addilyn Moore got Olivet on the board with a jumper, Geers connected from beyond the arc and Tangee Gagau hit another 3 as Davenport built a 14-2 lead with 6:27 left in the first quarter. Kaylee Bush answered with back-to-back layups for Olivet, but Davenport responded with another flurry. Axtell hit another 3, Deyonce Thompson made a layup, and Mya Viegelahn, Paige Ringwelski and Aubree Allen added baskets. Jada McCree closed the quarter with two 3-pointers, and Aubree Allen made two free throws as Davenport built a commanding lead by the end of the opening quarter. The burst reflected the game’s broader pattern: Davenport’s pressure and outside shooting repeatedly produced quick points while Olivet struggled to sustain offense.

Davenport kept widening the margin in the second quarter. Hannah Hill opened the period with a layup for Olivet and Addilyn Moore made a free throw, but Davenport answered with an Axtell 3-pointer, a Kayla Covington jumper and layups from Aubree Allen and Mya Viegelahn. Deyonce Thompson and Kayla Covington added free throws, and Jada McCree hit another 3-pointer before halftime. Olivet’s second-quarter points came on Hill’s layup and Moore’s free throw until Moore added a layup later in the period. Davenport held a large lead at halftime.

Olivet finished with 35 points on 73 possessions and an offensive rating of 48.1. The Cornets had six offensive rebounds, two assists and two blocks while committing 25 turnovers. Davenport’s lead grew throughout the first half and into the second. Olivet got a layup from Reese Gohsman, free throws from Autumn McDonald and Kaylee Bush, a layup from Hannah Ralko and a 3-pointer from Addilyn Moore in the third quarter, but Davenport answered with scoring from Maddie Geers, Tangee Gagau, Anna Axtell, Leigha Brown and Deyonce Thompson. Davenport continued to add to its lead in the fourth quarter, getting layups from Aubree Allen, Brooke Shockey, Mya Viegelahn, Kayla Covington and Leigha Brown along with a 3-pointer from Jada McCree and free throws from Kayla Covington.

Olivet opened the season with a loss to Bluffton and will look to regroup in its next non-conference test. The Cornets’ trip to Greensboro marked the second game of the young season and remained part of a demanding early schedule. Davenport, meanwhile, protected its home floor at Hanes Gym and used the non-divisional matchup to showcase depth and perimeter scoring. Olivet next faces Wheaton before meeting Elmhurst at Wheaton, Ill.
