Opening draw from Cary Street Field set for Thursday at noon

WASHINGTON – Following a season that featured the most conference wins for the program since 2013, GW lacrosse will make its second-straight appearance in the Atlantic 10 Championship on Thursday, matching up with No. 4 Davidson at noon from Cary Street Field in Richmond, Va. Live coverage of this year's Championship will be available on ESPN+.

In Head Coach Colleen McCaffrey's first season leading the program, GW tallied five regular season conference wins, the most since the 2013 season, and six wins overall, the most since 2018.

LAST TIME OUT
Behind a season-high 22 goals, GW topped St. Bonaventure, 22-11, on Senior Day. Graduate students Kerry McKeever and Whitney Moran made their last game at the GW Lacrosse Field memorable, tallying six goals apiece to lead all scorers. It was the second time this season that McKeever has pocketed six, matching her effort in the team's commanding win over Delaware State earlier this season. GW had nine different goal scorers, including Katelyn Walker's second-straight hat trick. The senior also tallied three assists and scooped up three ground balls.

DYNAMIC DUO
In their lone season with the Buff & Blue, McKeever and Moran started all 17 regular season contests for GW and have combined to score 84 of GW's 180 goals this season. McKeever's team-leading 46 goals ties her for third overall in program history in a single season, needing one goal to tie Rachel Mia for second overall. Moran can crack the program's top 10 with a pair of markers on Thursday, which would put her at the 40-goal mark.

A LOOK AT DAVIDSON

Davidson finished the regular season 11-5 overall and 6-3 in Atlantic 10 play. The last time GW and the Wildcats met was at Davidson on March 25, with the home team pulling out a 12-7 victory. Margaret Anne Warner got her first Defensive Player of the Week honors after picking up three ground balls, causing two turnovers and snagging two draw controls in the Wildcats' win over La Salle last weekend. Grace Fahey and Erin Cooke lead the team with 38 and 31 goals, respectively. Cooke is third in the A-10 with 36 assists.
