4/25/2021 3:24:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
RICHMOND, Va. -- The Davidson Wildcats dominated their A-10 South Division foe in VCU on Sunday afternoon, trouncing the Rams 17-10 to close out the regular season.
Davidson and VCU were evened up on shots, at 31 apiece, but the 'Cats held the advantage on draw controls at a 19-10 clip.
In the win, senior Olivia Carey recorded her 125th career point, while fellow classmate Sam Rippley led the game with four points off four goals. Sophomore Erin Cooke added a hat trick to the score sheet, while netminder Amanda Monahan made nine saves through 60 minutes of work to earn her 10th win of the season. Seven-time A-10 Rookie of the Week Julianne Carey grabbed a game-high and career-high 11 draw controls while adding one goal and one assist to her weekend totals.
The 'Cats jumped out to a fast start, holding a 5-3 lead midway through the first thanks to a goal from Rippley. However, with 11:40 remaining, Emma Johnson kick started a Wildcat scoring surge, as Davidson scored six-straight goals to close out the half and take a formidable 11-4 lead going into the break.
While both teams evened up at six goals apiece in the second half, the 'Cats were an impressive 9-of-10 on clear attempts, and helped cause 15 VCU turnovers to secure the conference victory.
Up Next
The Davidson Wildcats will await their fate and find out their draw for the 2021 Atlantic 10 lacrosse championships, set to begin next Friday.
