DAVIDSON, N.C. — The red-hot Davidson women's lacrosse team looks to continue its winning ways by playing hosting to their second Big South opponent in Coastal Carolina Friday evening at 6 p.m. in Richardson Stadium.
The Wildcats have won their last five straight games and are two away from tying last year's school-record seven-game win streak. In addition, they are also riding a nine-game Big South winning streak dating back to last season when the 'Cats went 7-0 to capture the regular season title.
The Opening Draw Control
Davidson (6-5, 2-0 Big South), winners of five in a row with three of the wins coming at home, plays its third Big South opponent by hosting the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (3-9, 1-2 Big South) Friday night. The 'Cats have already defeated Winthrop and Campbell to start league play.
Friday night's game will be the second of three contests Davidson will play this week. They opened the week by doubling up Campbell, 14-7, Tuesday night.
The All-Time Series/Last Meeting
This will be the second meeting between both schools after Davidson cruised to an 18-8 road win in last year's first meeting. The win set a new school record with its seventh straight victory. Ann Fucigna tied the Wildcat all-time points record of 185 in the win, while Emily Cooke and Mary Leonard each had five points on two goals and three assists to pace the offense.

The attacker dished out a pair of assists to give her 15 on the year and a new Wildcat record of 78 for her career. She passed Linda Rothmund's mark of 77 set from 1996-99.
