Notes from Coach Denton on the Road
"Really tough game away at St Louis for us coming off the La Salle game Thursday. We started a little slow and struggled to get a foothold in the game. Gradually we started to get a little more of the ball and possession. St. Louis had a lot of the ball, putting us under a lot of pressure but we limited the majority of their shots from range. I am really proud of our effort and application, and we can take positives from our overall performance. We are looking forward to the next game at home vs. Fordham."

Next Up:
Davidson returns home to face Fordham Thursday at 7 p.m. inside Alumni Stadium.
