'Cats Set Single-Game Record for Threes, Claim 22-Point Win Over Ball State
12/7/2025 8:57:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson women's basketball team torched the nets for a program-record 17 made threes as the Wildcats cruised to a 87-65 victory over Ball State inside Belk Arena.
The 'Cats improved to 7-3 on the season and 5-0 at home with the win as three Wildcats posted double-figure scoring nights for the fourth straight game.
Katie Donovan was superb, going for a career-high 28 points on 10-for-16 shooting from the floor and went 7-of-8 from beyond the arc. Kyra Bruyndoncx also posted a career-high 25 points and nailed six of the 17 threes for the 'Cats on their record-breaking shooting night.
The team previous single-game record was 14, set previously in 2019 in a 101-51 home victory over Western Carolina.
Charlise Dunn also added 18 points, five rebounds and a team-high six assists. Dunn has scored in double figures in every single game this season and in 15 of Davidson's last 16 games dating back to last season.
Leading 19-15 after the first quarter, the Wildcats opened the second frame on a 15-9 run to extend their lead out to 10 points. The Cardinals were able to battle back to cut the deficit to five points at halftime.
Donovan scored 14 points in the first half on 70 percent shooting from the floor while going 4-for-4 from distance.
The Wildcats pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring Ball State 26-17 with a barrage of threes from Bruyndoncx and Donovan. They extended their lead to as much as 26 in the fourth quarter.
Ball State, the defending tournament champions in the MAC, had previously been ranked second in the nation in three-point defense.
