In its final road game of the season, the Davidson field hockey team will visit No. 14 Saint Joseph's Friday afternoon in Philadelphia.
The Wildcats, now 5-10 overall and 0-5 in the Atlantic 10, are coming off a 3-2 loss to No. 17 UMass last weekend.
The Hawks (11-4) are atop the A-10 standings with a 5-0 record.
LATEST ON THE 'CATS
• Davidson is sitting on five wins, the most in a season since 2018. A sixth win would match that of the 2016 season.
• Abby Pompeo leads the Wildcats and ranks sixth in the A-10 with seven goals.
• She's just the third Wildcat since 2017 to score seven in a season, following Charlie Kabelac (2022) and current assistant coach Hannah Fisher (2017).
• With one more goal, Pompeo would have the most in a season for a Wildcat since Katherine English and Anne Federico each scored eight in 2016.
• Sib Naaktgeboren leads the Wildcats with 15 points (6 goals, 3 assists), which is seventh-best in the league.
• Naaktgeboren also ranks second with 2.00 shots-on-goal per game and third with 3.21 shots per game.
