DAVIDSON, N.C. – Needing a conference win to stay in the hunt for one of six spots in the Atlantic 10 tournament, the Davidson Wildcats secured one Friday night.
Senior Mason Rooney turned in her nation-leading fifth triple-double to lead the Wildcats to a 3-1 win over George Washington in Belk Arena.
"Knowing that the difference between eighth and fifth place was one match entering tonight, it's a huge win for us," Davidson coach Chris Willis said. "And for us to secure a spot in the A-10 tournament, we've got to have these kinds of performances. That was huge."
It's the second straight win for Davidson, which defeated N.C. Central 3-0 in non-conference play Tuesday night. The Wildcats are now 9-8 overall and 2-4 in the A-10.
Rooney finished with 17 kills, 21 assists and 12 digs and set the tone with a .536 hitting percentage as the Wildcats finished with a .290 to .082 advantage. Hattie Rodriguez added 11 kills, while Ciera Cockrell and Katharine Franz added nine and seven kills, respectively.
"I thought to be successful tonight, we had to hit well at the pins," Willis said. "Mason, Katharine, Ciera and Hattie really executed for us out there and scored."
Davidson, which had 10 total blocks, won the first and third sets 25-12, dropped the second 27-25 and finished with a 25-19 win in the fourth. Sydney Champaigne had a team-high 23 assists, Josie Treadwell had a team-best 24 digs and Elise Edman led the way with four service aces.
George Washington (8-10, 2-4) was led by Skylar Iott's 13 kills, Jaimeson Lee's 40 assists and Bella Bowman's 32 digs.

Davidson will host George Mason at 1 p.m. Sunday in Belk Arena.
