About Davidson
The Wildcats (2-9, 1-2 A-10) split a pair of matchups last weekend, including its first Atlantic 10 victory of the season in a 1-0 shutout at Saint Louis.

Last Time Out
Melissa Funsten had the lone goal as the Wildcats picked up their first conference win of the year at Saint Louis. Emily Leytham earned her first career shutout, finishing the afternoon with seven saves.
Â
The next day, senior Kaity Anstrome scored her first goal of the season to even the score 1-1 against Missouri State, but the Bears found the back of the cage to eventually win, 2-1. Davidson was edged in shots, 17-5, and penalty corners, 10-3, on the afternoon.
