'Cats Clipped by Saint Louis

SAINT LOUIS, Mo. -- After a two-match battle yesterday, Davidson met the Saint Louis Billikens once again today, less than 24 hours later, to close out a three-game opening series in Atlantic 10 play. Though the Billikens pulled out a straight-set victory, the Wildcats battled the league foe, falling 25-13, 25-20 and 25-22.
Freshman libero Bella Brady had a gutsy performance for Davidson, digging 11 balls and dishing six assists. The Florida native was key for keeping the ball alive in several of the Wildcats' rallies against the Billikens, as Brady has now reached double-digits in digs in all five of Davidson's matches this season. Jessie Doyal and Syndey Champaigne anchored the 'Cats' offense together, for the second straight day, with Doyal earning 11 assists and Champaigne tallying 10.
Saint Louis controlled the match from the onset, out-attacking the Wildcats .355-.107, and recording 48 total kills on the day. Davidson chased the Billikens' tails in sets two and three however, as the 'Cats led twice during the second and erased a five-point deficit in the third to make it a two-point game.
Sophomore Madeline Wynn was Davidson's lead attacker at the net, recording eight kills on 11 swings and picking up no errors on the day. Wynn also tallied the Wildcats' lone solo block of the day.
The 'Cats will be back in action next Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26 & 27, for a pair of Atlantic 10 games against VCU. Both games will be played inside Vance Athletic Center, with live stats available at davidsonwildcats.com/coverage.
