DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson will host a pair of Atlantic 10 foes this weekend, as Lock Haven visits Friday at 5:30 p.m. and Saint Francis (Pa.) comes to Belk Turf Field Sunday at noon.
LAST TIME OUT
Davidson is coming off a 2-1 win at Yale Sept. 30. Senior Courtney Byler provided both goals in the first half as the Wildcats won for the second time in three games.
#TRENDINGNOW
Courtney Byler's 2-goal effort at Yale marked the fourth time the Wildcats have had a player score at least 2 goals in a match this season. Leigha Nortier had a hat trick against LIU Brooklyn, while Kristin Kisa added 2 goals against LIU Brooklyn and Sydney McKenna scored twice against Appalachian State. Nortier's hat trick was Davidson's first in nearly two years.
ABOUT THE SERIES- LOCK HAVEN
Davidson is seeking its first win against Lock Haven in the teams' sixth meeting. The Wildcats and Bald Eagles first met in 2005, and Lock Haven has won 1-goal matches each of the last four years, including 2-1 last season.
SCOUTING THE BALD EAGLES
Lock Haven features one of the Atlantic 10's top players in senior Alyscia Smith. Smith ranks third in the A-10 in goals with 9 and is tied for second in the league with 6 assists. Smith scored 3 goals in wins over Colgate and LIU Brooklyn last month and was named A-10 Player of the Week on Sept. 10. The Bald Eagles have lost their last two games, including 1-0 to Rider on Sept. 30. That match was decided by a 2-1 Rider advantage in an overtime shootout. Lock Haven coach Pat Rudy has 599 career wins.
ABOUT THE SERIES- SAINT FRANCIS (Pa.)
Davidson holds a 6-2 series lead against the Red Flash, dating to the first meeting in 2001. The Wildcats won the first four matchups and two of the last three. Saint Francis won last season's game 2-1.
LOOKING AT THE RED FLASH
Saint Francis is 5-7 overall and 2-2 in the A-10 as it heads to Boone for a non-conference game against Appalachian State Friday. Ten Red Flash players have scored goals this season, led by Taylor Nesmith, who has 4.
