BUIES CREEK, N.C. — In the first of three games this week, Davidson's women's lacrosse team started off in winning style by rolling to their fifth straight win on the strength of a 14-7 Big South road victory at Campbell Tuesday evening in Barker-Lane Stadium.

Led by five players who scored two or more goals, the 'Cats (6-5, 2-0 Big South) moved over .500 for the first time this year. They won their ninth straight Big South contest dating back to last season when they went 7-0.

Emma Sissman led Davidson again with three goals to give her a team-high 27. Ann Fucigna had a game-high tying four points on two goals and two assists, pushing her season points total to 32.

Campbell (5-5, 1-2 Big South) was led by Taelar Errington's four goals, while Erica Hitch had two assists.

Behind two Sissman goals on a pair of Fucigna assists, Davidson grabbed a 4-0 lead after eight minutes of play. Fucigna's first goal of the game on a free-position shot later made it 5-1, and goals from Brockett and Leonard gave the 'Cats a comfortable 7-2 lead with 7:59 left in the first half.

Cooke capped off the big first half with a goal right before the halftime buzzer for a 9-4 Wildcat lead.

Goals from Campbell's Maddy Dolinar and Errington in the early goings of the second half brought the score to 10-6, but Davidson answered with three straight goals, two of them from Rademacher to make it 13-6 with 7:47 left. Erin Doherty earned her fifth assist on one of Rademacher's goals.

Rueger sealed up the win with her 10th goal of the season and the last score for a 14-7 victory for Davidson.
