THE SERIES
- The Wildcats' conference rival, Fordham, holds the all-time series record at a 13-5 advantage.
- Dating back to the 2018-19 season, the 'Cats and Rams exchanged one win per meeting until Fordham began a four-game win streak over the 'Cats from Jan. 31, 2021 to Jan. 1, 2023.
- On average, the Wildcats score 56 points per game against the Rams, but scored 60 or more points in their three most recent wins in the series.
- In the last meeting, the Davidson Wildcats led the Fordham Rams for 23 minutes of Atlantic 10 action before the Fordham charged back with a 53 percent shooting effort in the final quarter to win the conference opener, 67-64.
- Fifth year guard Chloe Welch drained two free throws with 1:48 left in the game to tie things up at 59-all and with under a minute to go, trailing 63-59, Suzi-Rose Deegan scored five more points for the 'Cats before the final buzzer sounded. In the final 30 seconds of play, Fordham converted on four-straight free throw opportunities to secure the victory.
- A win would mark first win over the Rams since December 2020.
