2/25/2026 8:30:00 PM | Women's Basketball
BRONX, N.Y. – Charlise Dunn scored a game-high 22 points to lead Davidson past Fordham, 58-49, Wednesday evening inside Rose Hill Gym.
The Wildcats improve to 19-11 overall and 11-6 in Atlantic 10 play, while the Rams fall to 10-18 and 2-15.
Despite sitting a majority of the second quarter due to early foul trouble, Dunn finished 7-of-12 from the floor, including three triples and a 5-of-6 effort from the charity stripe.
Elena Alvarez Castellanos and Katie Donovan added 10 points each for the 'Cats, who pulled away late with an 11-3 spurt.
Davidson shot a blistering 66.7 percent in the opening period to jump out to a 20-15 lead over Fordham. Dunn fueled the early surge, accounting for 11 of the Wildcats' first 14 points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting performance that included three 3-pointers.
The second quarter was the exact opposite for the Wildcats, who made just two field goals in the frame allowing the Rams to take a 29-28 lead into the half.
Facing its largest deficit since the opening minutes, Davidson reeled off 10 straight early in the third to go back in front for good.
Carryn Easley led the way for Fordham with 11 points.
In addition to going 14-of-18 from the line, the 'Cats finished with a commanding 35-26 advantage on the glass, which led to 14 second-chance points.
