DAVIDSON — The Davidson volleyball team will hold its final two home matches of the season this weekend, as the Wildcats look to stay in the hunt for an Atlantic 10 Tournament berth with six dates left on the schedule.

Davidson (9-12, 4-4 A-10) will host George Washington Friday at 4:30 p.m., then welcome George Mason on Senior Day Sunday at 1 p.m. It's the only scheduled meetings of the year with the Colonials and Patriots.

"This is a bittersweet weekend as we host the last matches of the year and honor our seniors," said 'Cats coach Chris Willis. "We've put ourselves in a good position for the A-10 Tournament. Our job is to work hard, get better and focus on what we can control. George Washington and George Mason are very talented, and we need to be at our best to be successful. I'm also looking forward to honoring our seniors as they play their last matches in front of our home crowd. They've been amazing scholar-athletes and have represented our program in a first-class manner."

Last weekend, Davidson went 1-1 in league play, falling 3-1 at La Salle on Oct. 25 and winning 3-0 at Duquesne two days later.

The Davidson roster features four seniors — Elise Edman, Emily Kane, Emma McLaughlin and Josie Treadwell — who will be honored prior to Sunday's match.

CROSLEY LEADING THE LEAGUE
Junior middle blocker Ellie Crosley continues to lead the A-10 with a .392 hitting percentage. She has converted 132 of her 273 attacks, with 25 errors.

Freshman Madeline Wynn, now a four-time A-10 Rookie of the Week, ranks third in the league with 1.29 blocks per set and fourth with a .344 hitting percentage.

Junior setter Sydney Champaigne is third with 9.25 assists per set, while sophomore outside hitter Hattie Rodriguez is sixth with 3.10 kills per set, and Treadwell is sixth with 3.88 digs per set.

SCOUTING THE COLONIALS
George Washington comes to town a half-game ahead of the Wildcats in the standings at 5-4.

The Colonials (12-11) feature one of the top players in the league in senior outside hitter Skylar Iott, who ranks third in the A-10 in points per set (4.36). Iott surpassed the 1,000-kill career mark in a win over Duquesne on Oct. 19 and was named A-10 Co-Player of the Week on Sept. 30. Graduate student opposite side hitter Paty Valle ranks third in the league with 30 service aces.

Prior to losing at Dayton and Saint Louis last weekend, the Colonials had won three straight.

SCOUTING THE PATRIOTS
George Mason (4-17) enters Friday's match at VCU seeking its first A-10 win. The Patriots are 0-9 in league play, including last weekend's losses at Saint Louis and Dayton.

Sophomores Siron Hardy and ShaLi Niu and senior Bailey Williams have combined for more than 600 kills. Williams ranks 10th in the A-10 with 2.84 kills per set. Sophomore Erin Derrick ranks sixth in the A-10 with 7.85 assists per set.
