DAVIDSON, N.C. — Fresh off a season-opening win last Sunday, the Davidson women's lacrosse team looks to make it two straight when they host Navy this Saturday at Richardson Stadium.

The Opening Draw Control
Davidson (1-0, 0-0 Atlantic 10), winners of their last six straight contests at home dating back to last year, play Navy (2-1) Saturday, Feb. 21, at 1 p.m. in Richardson Stadium. The six-game home win streak is one off the program best set during the 2008 season into the first game of the 2009 campaign.

The Wildcats are playing four of their first five games at home to start the 2015 season.

The All-Time Series/Last Meeting
This will be the seventh meeting between the two schools, with Davidson trailing 5-1. The 'Cats lone victory came in the series opener in 2008, a 15-10 triumph that was part of their seven-game home win streak.

Last year on the road, No. 19 Navy captured a 14-5 victory over Davidson. Emily Rademacher paced Davidson by scoring two of the five goals on the day. Also scoring for the Wildcats was Emma Sissman (5 draw controls and 2 groundballs), Ann Fucigna and Lucy Sexton.
