DAVIDSON, N.C. — Winners of two of their last three games, the Davidson women's lacrosse team will play host to Elon Saturday afternoon inside Richardson Stadium as the Wildcats continue their season-long seven-game homestand.
The Opening Draw Control...
Davidson (3-3, 0-0 A-10) plays the Elon Phoenix (5-3) at 2 p.m. Saturday afternoon to finish out the month of March. It just finished a span of playing three games in an eight-day stretch, going 2-1 with wins against Holy Cross and High Point.
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 is just two games old, dating back to 2014. Davidson took the inaugural meeting, 15-8 at home, March 22, 2014.
Last year on the road, the 'Cats dropped a 10-5 decision to the Phoenix after Elon scored four goals in a row to turn a 5-3 lead into a 9-3 advantage late in the second half. Emily Rademacher led Davidson with three points on two goals and an assist, while Emma Sissman and Nicole Pettiglio netted two goals apiece.
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 111 goals and needs 10 more to pass Haley Cook (2007-10) for sixth. In addition, Sissman is four points (124) 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 215 draw controls.
Fellow senior Holly Thomas is 11 caused turnovers away from reaching the top-10 all-time as she has 39 for her career.
Weekly Awards...
Sophomore goalkeeper Rose Woolson earned Davidson's first weekly lacrosse award this year from the Atlantic 10 after being named the league's defensive player of the week for games played from March 7-13. Full details by clicking here.
Woolson played a big part in helping the Wildcats to a pair of wins last week over Holy Cross (8-7) and High Point (12-7). The Baltimore, Md., native combined for 18 saves, 10 groundballs and one caused turnover in the two wins.
Last Time Out...
DAVIDSON — In a defensive, slow paced game, Lehigh scored a pair of goals 19 seconds apart to break up a close game and Davidson saw its two-game winning streak come to an end with a 7-5 setback Tuesday.
Five different 'Cats scored single goals on the night, while Jean Atkinson picked up an assist.
Morgan Burch had brought Davidson to within one goal (5-4) on her fifth score of the season at 20:48 in the second half. But, six minutes later the Mountain Hawks struck for two quick goals with 14:37 and 14:18 on the clock to open up a 7-4 lead.
Nicole Pettiglio netted her fifth goal of on the year on a free-position attempt to make it 7-5 with 4:24 left. Davidson would then get the ensuing draw control thanks to Sarah Kopp and looked to close the gap. The Wildcats got off four shots, including a free-position attempt, during the final three minutes, but they miss fired on each one and were not able to capitalize.
Last Time Out..
ELON —  The Elon women's lacrosse team was not able to knock off its second ranked opponent of the season, falling to No. 4 North Carolina, 13-2, Tuesday night on the road.
The Phoenix (5-3) took 17 shots in the game and won the advantage in ground balls, 13-11. Goalie Rachel Ramirez set a new program single-game high with five caused turnovers and also matched her season-high with five ground balls. Nicole Sinacori and Stephanie Asher netted the maroon and gold's two scores on the night.
After UNC netted the first two goals of the game to make it 2-0 by the 20:06 mark, the Tar Heels scored four straight to make it a 6-0 game with just over nine minutes remaining in the half. Elon would score its first goal with 1:46 left in the half and trailed 8-1 at the break. UNC outscored the Phoenix 5-1 in the second half.
