Box Score
DAVIDSON, N.C. -- The Davidson Wildcats suffered a 3-0 (25-21, 25-17, 25-19) setback to UNC Wilmington in its opening match of the Wildcat Classic Friday night at Belk Arena.
Davidson (2-6) got 10 kills from Sarabeth Peele, but ran into a balanced attack from UNC Wilmington (5-4). The Seahawks were led by nine kills from Anna Price and eight from Rachel Caricato. As a team, Wilmington hit .263 to just .106 for Davidson and recorded nine blocks to the 'Cats' four.
Davidson setter Hayley Lawson posted 26 assists, and the defense was led by Peele's nine digs. Wilmington setter Kelsey Bendig tallied 29 assists, and Ashlyn Morris had 15 digs.
Wilmington opened the match with a 6-2 run and, though the Wildcats clawed back mid-way through, they would not be stopped. Davidson closed within two, 14-12, on a pair of back-to-back kills by Jorden Benedict and would not get down by more until late in the set. Trailing 22-20, a Wildcat hitting error gave the Seahawks a critical three-point cushion, and a service ace by Price all but put the set away. Price's next serve missed, but Lindsay Strucko lifted Wilmington to a 25-21 win.
The Seahawks came out quickly in the second set as well, taking a 4-1 lead and putting the Wildcats in another early hole. Davidson used a mini 3-0 run, including kills from Christine Perzinski and Jorden Benedict to narrow the deficit to 14-11, but Wilmington pulled away with a 6-2 run, opening a 20-13 lead. The Seahawks took a 2-0 lead in the match with the 25-17 win.
A kill from Peele and Perzinski's ace gave the 'Cats a slight 6-4 lead to begin the final set, but the Seahawks rallied with an 11-2 run to go up 15-8. Wilmington closed the match with a 4-1 span, en route to the 25-19 victory.
Davidson will return to action with a 10 a.m. match against Radford, who defeated Canisius, 3-2, (25-21, 23-25, 25-21, 22-25, 15-3) in the first match of the tournament.
The Seahawks will play a double-header tomorrow, taking on Canisius at 12:30 p.m. in the second match of the day and Radford in the third at 4:30 p.m. The Wildcats will close out the tournament with Canisius in the Classic finale at 7 p.m.
