About the Davidson Wildcats
The Davidson Wildcats (4-20, 1-7) are hoping to snap a four-match losing streak this weekend. The time is right for the Wildcats, who boast the Southern Conference kill leader in Sarabeth Peele and will get six of their eight remaining games at home in Belk.
About the Western Carolina Catamounts
Winless in the Southern Conference, the Western Carolina Catamounts enter the weekend on a losing streak of their own, 12-matches strong and dating back to the team's 3-0 win over Howard in the finale of their Invitational tournament on Sept. 12. The Catamounts lost three straight matches by shutouts before losing a five-setter to Wofford Sunday.
