The Wildcats shot 43.2 percent from the floor while Charlise Dunn and Millie Prior both tallied double-doubles and combined for 43 points and 20 rebounds to lead the 'Cats past the Billikens.
THE DUO FROM DOWN UNDER…
Australia natives Dunn and Prior continue to put up large numbers for the Wildcats especially following last weekend's home win.
Dunn went for a career-high 27 points, which marked the second increase in her scoring career in the same week after tallying 22 on the road at St. Bonaventure. Additionally, Dunn tacked on 10 rebounds to complete her double-double effort. The sophomore was 8-of-18 from the floor and 10-of-13 from the foul line.
Prior earned her double-double by way of 16-point 10-rebound performance while shooting 6-of-10 from the field and a perfect 4-of-4 from the charity stripe.
HOME COURT HEROICS…
Davidson moves to an impressive 10-3 on its home court this season. The Wildcats have secured their sixth consecutive winning season at home from the 2018-19 campaign to the current 2023-14 season. With three home contests remaining in the regular season, the 'Cats are on track to record a new program-high of single-season home wins with the current lead being 12 from the 2011-12 season.
PICKING BACK UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF…
Davidson entered the bye-week in solid fashion having picked up their first set of back-to-back wins since defeating UNC Charlotte (12/21) and La Salle (1/2) consecutively. Earlier in the year, the 'Cats matched a program record winning streak of 10 games. Currently Davidson has started a new win streak and will look to extend it to three games with a win over the Ramblers.
