Annie Brockett paced the Wildcats with two goals. The defense kept UMass scoreless for nearly 10 minutes of the opening half, before the Minutewomen went on an 8-2 run to take control of the game.
The series is tied at 2-all against the Bonnies, with the first game coming back in 2003. Davidson has won the past two meetings by a combined score of 33-13, including last year's 18-6 road win.
