DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson, playing at home for the first time since Mar. 27, will seek to hand Jacksonville its first league loss when the two squads battle on Saturday, Apr. 10 in a key National Lacrosse Conference game.
The Opening Draw Control
Davidson (5-7, 3-1 NLC), sitting in third place in the NLC, will host Jacksonville (5-6, 3-0 NLC) on Saturday, Apr. 10 at 1 p.m. in Richardson Stadium. The Dolphins are tied for first in the league, having scored wins over Detroit, Libery and Howard.
