Saturday night's game saw six different 'Cats find the end zone eight times, scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter, three in the second and three on the fourth. Coy Williams - who scored his 30th career touchdown - and Mark McCurdy each scored twice against the Blue Hose.
Freshman TJ Magee got Davidson started on the right foot, returning the opening kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown. Magee is the first Wildcat to return two kickoffs in the same season and the second to have two in his career.
From there, McCurdy scampered for 24 yards into the end zone to give Davidson a 14-3 lead heading into the second quarter. Williams scored his first touchdown of the night following a huge 82-yard reception from Maxwell Weaver.
Clarence Freeman recorded his first touchdown of the season off a 67-yard reception from Waddell before McCurdy's second of the night - a 30-yard catch from QB Luke Durkin.
Davidson opened up the fourth quarter with Williams' second score, followed by Waddell's second rushing touchdown of the season. Kaedon Jenkins sparked Davidson's eighth and final score of the night from Dylan Sparks after intercepting the ball at the Presbyterian 40-yard line.
Davidson held Presbyterian to 331 total yards in comparison to its 626. Yusef Thomas, Cam'ron Willis and Marcus Heard Jr. all tallied seven tackles apiece, three TFLs and three pass break ups for the 'Cats. Jordan Burrell recorded his second interception of the season.
