Wednesday afternoon, a social media post prominently featuring a posed photo of senior scholar-athlete Katie Donovan appeared on the Davidson College Women's Basketball social media feeds. She is joined on the poster by an action photo of junior Kyra Bruyndoncx.

The heart of the poster is a listing of the Wildcats' upcoming 15 non-conference games. The five games in red reflect away games at North Carolina (Oct. 18), Columbia (Nov. 2), N.C. State (Dec. 6), Georgetown (Dec. 17), and Ohio (Dec. 22). And while that’s one heck of a non-conference away schedule for the ‘Cats, the home schedule is equally impressive.

The Wildcats will be hosting the following teams in Belk Arena: Virginia (Nov. 5), Campbell (Nov. 8), App State (Nov. 11), Charleston Southern (Nov. 18) cross-county rival Charlotte (Nov. 21), Vanderbilt (Dec. 9), Radford (December 13), and Mississippi State (Dec. 20).

Add to that already impressive schedule, the ‘Cats travel to the Bahamas in late November for the Battle 4 Atlantis Showcase where they will take on Notre Dame (Nov. 24) and Florida (Nov. 26).

A concurrent press release included the following quote from Head Coach Gayle Fulks.

"We are thrilled to finally share our complete non-conference schedule, one we believe is among the very best in the country," said Fulks. "Hosting three ‘Power 4’ opponents (Virginia, Vanderbilt, and Mississippi State) gives our fans an awesome opportunity to pack Belk Arena and watch high-level women's basketball right here at home. We are also thankful to again be invited to a premier holiday showcase at the Battle 4 Atlantis, featuring a matchup against Notre Dame and a nationally televised Thanksgiving Day game against Florida. This schedule is purpose-built to challenge this group and prepare us for the always-grueling Atlantic 10 slate. Road tests at Columbia, N.C. State, Georgetown, and Ohio will give us great stylistic exposure to the rigors of college basketball. We are eager to get rolling and look forward to seeing the Davidson College community wrap their arms around this team."
