Three Wildcats recorded double figures in kills. Mara Mordini led Davidson with 19 kills and a match-high 28 digs. Five other Wildcat players registered double-figure digs. Setter Erica Schwartz topped both squads with 58 assists.
The Deacons, who fall to 10-3 overall and 2-1 in ACC play, return home to host Georgia Tech October 4. Match time is set for 7:00 pm at Reynolds Gym.
