LAST TIME OUT
Charlise Dunn scored a game-high 22 points to lead Davidson past Fordham, 58-49, Wednesday evening.
The Wildcats improved to 19-11 overall and 11-6 in Atlantic 10 play putting them as the four seed in the A-10 tournament.
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.
SERIES HISTORY
The 'Cats hold 7-8 record against the Billikens in the all-time series with a 3-5 record inside Belk Arena. Davidson will look to complete the season sweep of Saint Louis after defeating them 71-55 on the road in January.
In their last meeting, three Davidson starters scored 17 points each, led by freshman guard Elena Alvarez, who posted a career-high performance and went 9-for-11 from the free-throw line.
Edina Strausz also recorded a career-high performance, scoring 17 points on 8-for-11 shooting. Emilie Bessell closed out the game strong, tallying 10 of her 17 points in the fourth quarter while going 7-for-8 from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Dunn led the team with six rebounds, while Jasmine Timmerson dished out a game-high four assists.
SENIOR DAY DUNN
Charlise Dunn will play her final game at Belk Arena on Saturday, as the lone member of Davidson women's basketball 2026 senior class. After her three years at Davidson, Dunn will go down as one of the best players to dawn a Wildcat uniform in recent memory.
A three-year starter for Davidson, Dunn has appeared in 81 games for the Wildcats and has made 71 starts. She currently sits 1,105 career points, 544 rebounds, 143 assists, 126 steals and 152 three-point baskets. She is a two-time A-10 All-Conference second team selection and ranks 14th on Davidson's all-time scoring list. She is also 16th player in program history to score 1000 points and collect 500 rebounds, and the second player to have to have 1000 points, 500 rebounds, 100 steals and 150 three pointers.
This season Charlise is having a career year, averaging 15.3 points per game, 7.6 rebounds and leads the A-10 in double-doubles with 11.
FINAL GAME OF THE REGULAR SEASON
With one game remaining in the regular season, the Wildcats are poised to repeat as a top four seed in the upcoming Atlantic 10 Championship, earning them a double-bye and trip to the quarterfinals.
A win over Saint Louis would guarantee this outcome and give them their first 20-win season since 2012 when the team went 22-10 while playing in the Southern Conference. A 20-win season would be their first under head coach Gayle Fulks, the first as part of the Atlantic 10 and the fourth in the history of the women's basketball program at Davidson.
Up Next
The Wildcats will await their next matchup as they head to Henrico, Va., for the Atlantic 10 Championship at the Henrico Sports and Events Center from March 4–8.
