DAVIDSON, N.C. — After opening the season with five straight road games, Davidson will play its home opener Monday night inside Richardson Stadium against Lehigh in women's lacrosse.
The Opening Draw Control...
Davidson (2-3, 0-0 A-10) plays at home for the first time this season with a 6:30 p.m. game Monday night against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks, which enters the game with a 5-2 record.
The All-Time Series/Last Meeting vs. Virginia Tech ...
The series vs. the Mountain Hawks, which dates back to 1995, is four games old and both teams have won two each. The Wildcats have not faced Lehigh since 2009 when it fell 18-4 on the road. They were paced by Haley Cook's three goals.
Quick Hits
Junior Named to A-10 Preseason All-Conference Team ...
Natalie Junior was named to the 2020 Atlantic 10 Preseason All-Conference team for women's lacrosse, as the league office released its preseason poll and all-conference team. The Wildcats as a team were picked seventh in the poll conducted by the league's 10 head coaches. Junior was the first Wildcat to earn preseason honors since they joined the A-10 in 2014-15.
A native of Wayne, Pa., Junior has enjoyed a solid first two seasons as one of the league's top defenders. She earned all-second team honors a year ago after starting 16 games with 30 groundballs and 11 draw controls, while tying for the team-lead with 19 caused turnovers. Five times last year Junior had four or more groundballs in a game, including tying a career-high with six at VCU.
In 2018, Junior broke onto the scene as a freshman and earned A-10 All-Rookie Team honors after tallying 39 groundballs and 32 draw controls, ranking second and third, respectively, on the team.
Last Game Out... March 4

Freshman Grace Fahey had another strong game, scoring twice and dishing out three assists for five points to give her a team-high 13 points. Fellow freshman Erin Cooke and Gianna New scored two goals each and combined for three assists. Shayne Antolini and Olivia Carey recorded three points apiece on a goal and two assists.

Junior goalkeeper Samantha Sagi stopped eight of 10 shots sent her way in the first, finishing with 12 saves on the afternoon to anchor Lehigh's strong defensive effort. Freshman Katia Carnevale paced the offense with four goals, while classmate Gabby Schneider added three.
The Mountain Hawks' defense was a big story all game, allowing their fewest goals all season. Down 4-3 in the second half, Lehigh finished with a 7-2 run to scoring the victory.
