Wildcat Tidbits
• Unbeaten in league play and seven of their last eight, the Wildcats return home for three straight beginning with Saturday night's tilt against Fordham.
• Tied atop the A-10 standings with VCU, Davidson enters 8-4-1 overall and 4-0-1 in league play, following Wednesday's 2-0 win at UMass.
• Freshman Henry Howell leads the Wildcats in scoring with 4 goals and 11 total points.
• Forwards Lucas Hauth (4G, 2A) and Jaylen Thompson (3G, 4A) are second on the club with 10 total points.
• Hauth, the reigning A-10 Rookie of the Week, scored both Davidson's goals against the Minutemen for his second multi-goal performance of 2018.
• Fordham, which has spent a majority of the season ranked, is led by Janos Loebe's 4 goals and league-best 10 assists.
• Up next, Davidson will step out of A-10 play to host Virginia Tech Tuesday at 7 p.m.
Pregame Comments from Head Coach Matt Spear
After four nights in hotels and four flights for two games in the northeast, it's nice to be home again and to play at Alumni Stadium.
The team has earned good results through preparation, unity, depth, selflessness and trust – that leads to confidence and peak performances.
We are very aware that each match is a unique opportunity and to take it one day at a time.
Fordham has talent, urgency and ambition - just one season removed from an NCAA Elite Eight run.
