Box Score
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest spoiled Davidson's season-opener on Friday night with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-11, 25-13) win in the 'Cats' first match at the Black and Gold Challenge.
As a team Wake Forest (1-0) hit .357 (45-15-84) in the match, and individually, placed two players in double digits. Natalie Mullikin led all players with 15 kills, and Madison Vain added 12. Abby Miller had a match-high 37 assists, while Kadija Fornah contributed a match-high 13 digs to lead the defense.
For the Wildcats, sophomore outside hitter Sarabeth Peele and senior middle blocker Kittery Neale each had six kills, and sophomore Hayley Lawson tallied 20 assists. In her collegiate debut, freshman Jessica McAlvany led the Wildcat defense with six digs.
Wake Forest took an early lead in the first game of the match, but the 'Cats pulled ahead 8-6 early behind a four-point serve by Neale. Wake Forest regrouped after a quick timeout, evening the score at 15, and turned a 7-3 run into a 25-19 win.
In the second game, the Deacons jumped out to an overwhelming 10-3 lead and closed with a 7-1 run behind strong serving from Cambrey Oehler. With the 25-11 win, the Deacons took control of the match.
Oehler again served Wake Forest to an early 3-1 lead in the final game, and Mullikin pushed it to 9-3 to force the 'Cats to take a timeout. A pair of Wake Forest hitting errors led to a three-point serve from Neale, and Davidson closed the gap to 9-6. Unable to capitalize, Wake Forest pulled away and, with the 25-13 win, captured the match.
The Wildcats have a pair of matches remaining in the tournament, facing Winthrop at 10 a.m. Saturday and Norfolk State later that day at 4:30.
