Box Score
CINCINNATI, Ohio –– The Davidson lacrosse team turned a one-goal deficit at halftime into an 11-5 win with nine goals in the second half against host Cincinnati and the Wildcats set a new single-season school record for wins with its 10th of the year on Friday afternoon at Nippert Stadium.
Davidson broke a tie with the 2006 squad for most wins in a single season by taking home the program's first victory against Cincinnati, who is in its first year of being a Division I varsity sport. In addition to breaking the single-season win record, the Wildcats scored their sixth straight win to set yet another school record.
The Bearcats fell to 2-10 on the year.
Junior Becky Horton led the second-half explosion with five goals on her way to setting a new personal-best with six goals for the game. Her six goals pushed her season total to 27, matching her career-high of a year ago.
The junior started the scoring for Davidson in the new half with a goal just 32 seconds into the half and then added another at the seven-minute mark to tie the score at 4-4.
Following Horton's goal, Davidson took control with five more goals to take a 9-4 lead and eventually the 11-5 win. Senior Emily Diefendorf and Horton combined for six goals down the stretch in assisting the Wildcats to their school-best 10th win.
Also scoring for the Wildcats with single goals each was senior Kate McDonald and the sophomore duo of Jen Crawford and Haley Cook.
Davidson dominated the stats by outshooting the Bearcats, 37-18, and picking up 41 groundballs as four different 'Cats had four or more, led by senior Anna Mitchell's six.
In addition the Wildcats were 5-of-10 on free position shots and earned a 12-7 advantage in draw controls.
Senior Laura Johnson played all 60 minutes in scoring the win between the pipes, while the Bearcats' Jen Mott registered 17 saves in the loss.
Davidson remains on the road with a trip to Ohio State on Sunday, Apr. 13 for its next contest with a 12 p.m. start time.
