Notes from Coach Denton on the Road
"We played tough against a strong VCU team. We competed well under pressure and at sometimes around periods of pressure. I'm very pleased with our overall effort, but we have to continue to improve in both 18s as we look to improve in a vey tough A-10 Conference. The next chance to do so is against Dayton at home on Sunday."
Next Up:
Davidson returns home Sunday for a 2 p.m. game against Dayton at Alumni Stadium.
