DAVIDSON, N.C. — Playing its second of three games in an eight-day span, Davidson will host the High Point Panthers Friday night under the lights in women's lacrosse inside Richardson Stadium.
The Opening Draw Control...
Davidson (2-2, 0-0 A-10) plays High Point (3-2) at 6 p.m. Friday night. The 'Cats' are currenlty on a seven-game homestand, which started Feb. 28 vs. Winthrop and is the longest since a six-game stretch at the beginning of the 2012 season.
The All-Time Series/Last Meeting...
The series dates back to 2011, with Davidson trailing the Panthers 7-1. It is seeking to halt a four-game losing streak. The two schools met twice in the Big South final in 2013 and 2014 when Davidson was a member, with High Point winning both matchups.
The last meeting occured last year at High Point, a 9-7 HPU win. Davidson had come back from a 7-4 deficit with a 3-0 run only to see the Panthers score goals at the 10:02 and 4:34 marks for the final scores of the game.
Lucy Sexton scored three goals to pace Davidson and Emily Rademacher added a pair of goals.
Record Watch...
Emma Sissman moved up to seventh all-time in career goals after a four-goal outing to opening the season against Virginia Tech. She currently has 109 goals and needs 12 more to pass Haley Cook (2007-10) for sixth. In addition, Sissman is six points (122) away from moving into the top-10 all-time, passing Erin Doherty who has 127.
The senior is already the all-time leader for draw controls, reaching the 200-mark in a victory at Kennesaw State, Feb. 20. She currently has 209 draw controls.
Fellow senior Holly Thomas is 14 caused turnovers away from reaching the top-10 all-time as she has 36 for her career.
Last Time Out...
DAVIDSON — Davidson shook off a sluggish first half by scoring seven goals in the second half and held on for an 8-7 comeback victory over Holy Cross Tuesday night. The Wildcats overcame a 4-1 halftime deficit.
It was a game that went down to the wire in the final 14 minutes. Emma Sissman tied it up at 6-6 with her second goal of the second half on a free-position score with 13:16 remaining. Davidson concluded its comeback by getting a goal from Christine Molinari with 5:05 left and then an empty net goal by Lucy Sexton four minutes later. It proved to be the game-winner as Holy Cross nearly forced overtime, scoring a goal with 33 seconds left before turning the ball over with five seconds remaining.
Sexton and Molinari tallied two goals and assist each to pace the Wildcat attack. Goalie Rose Woolson matched her personal best with 10 saves between the pipes and picked up a career-best six groundballs.
Last Time Out..
HIGH POINT — The High Point women's lacrosse team put together a stifling defensive effort to earn a 12-7, cross-coast victory over Oregon (3-2) Monday night.
HPU led by a goal (7-6) at the half, but overpowered Oregon with a 5-1 margin in the second half to pick up the Panthers' third-straight win. The Ducks posted just a single goal over the final 18:58 of action.
Freshman goalie Molly Andrews made a career-best 13 saves while allowing just seven goals in a full 60 minutes in the cage.
Samantha Brown put together another monster performance with six points on three goals and three assists, while going a perfect 3-for-3 from the free position. Senior Emily Meier posted a hat trick to register her fourth-straight game with at least three points, while Emory Gaeng added a career best two goals.
