The Bulldogs enjoyed a 13-game winning streak that closed out the regular season.  A four-time NCHA Coach of the Year, Davis has guided Adrian to a 65-2-5 mark in league play over the last four seasons, with three straight conference championships. Under Davis' leadership, 10 Bulldogs earned AHCA All-American honors and six former student-athletes have moved on to play at the professional level.
