DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson, fresh off a four-game homestand and currently riding a season-best seven-game unbeaten streak, hits the road for the first time since Sept. 15 with Atlantic 10 games at Rhode Island Thursday and then at Dayton to close out the week on Sunday in women's soccer.
The Matchup ...
Davidson (7-3-2, 2-0-1 A-10) will carry an unbeaten streak of 5-0-2 into league games this week at Rhode Island (3-5-3, 0-2-1 A-10) Thursday night at 7 p.m. before closing out the week with a 1 p.m. Sunday matchup at Dayton (3-6-2, 1-1-1 A-10) on Baujan Field.
Coach Denton's Thoughts on the Upcoming Game ...
"Looking forward to the games ahead this weekend. These two games against Rhode Island and Dayton will be our first A-10 games on the road and both will provide a test for all our players on many different levels. The trips are both long ones and making them in the same weekend makes it even more of a challenge. Both are also tough places to play and our players have to be ready to compete from start to finish. It is exciting for our group and we are very much looking forward to the challenges we face this week."
A-10 Players of the Week ...
For the second week in a row, the duo of sophomore goalkeeper Mary Grace Bunch and forward Hailey Braemer claimed Atlantic 10 Women's Soccer Defender and Rookie of the Week awards, respectively, as announced Monday for games played from Sept. 23-29. Davidson has won six weekly honors this season. Bunch and Braemer again played roles in last week's pair of shutouts at home against Duquesne (2-0) and St. Bonaventure (0-0), which helped keep the Wildcats' unbeaten streak intact.
Reigning A-10 Defender of the Week Bunch earned her third and fourth shutouts of the season last week to go with six saves and a save percentage of 1.000 in 200 minutes. The Raleigh, N.C., native picked up her second win of the season in the win vs. Duquesne and had a season-best five saves. Braemer, the reigning A-10 Rookie of the Week, assisted on the game-winner in a 2-0 win against the Dukes at home.
