DAVIDSON, N.C. — Playing at home for the first time since opening the season vs. San Diego State, Feb. 16, Davidson seeks its second win of the campaign when it hosts Villanova Sunday at Richardson Stadium.
The Opening Draw Control
Davidson (1-4, 0-0 Big South) continues its non-conference slate of games by hosting the Villanova Wildcats (3-3) Sunday at 1 p.m. in Richardson Stadium. Villanova played at High Point Friday afternoon, falling 16-8.
The All-Time Series/Last Meeting
This will be the fifth meeting between the two schools, with VU leading 3-2 in a series that dates back to 1995. The two schools met at Villanova last year and Davidson came out on the wrong end of an 11-7 decision. VU scored five of the first six goals in the second half to pull away. Ann Fucigna had three goals and two assists in the defeat.
Quick Hits...
Record Watch, Closing in on More Records
Junior Emily Cooke is close to breaking yet another record this year, after setting a pair of single season marks a year ago in points (87) and assists (55). She is just three assists from breaking the program's all-time record for a career, passing Linda Rothemund's 77, which was set from 1996-99.
Cooke was held without a point at Duke Thursday for the first time since May 5, 2012 in a National Lacrosse Conference semifinal game vs. High Point. She had a streak of 22 straight games with at least one point in a contest.
