FORT MYERS, Fla. (Interstat) — The Davidson Wildcats and Florida Gulf Coast Eagles will open their 2025-26 seasons on opposite tracks when they meet in a non-conference women’s basketball game Saturday at Alico Arena.

Davidston (1-1) arrives with momentum after a dominant 71-50 victory over William & Mary on Thursday. Kyra Bruyndoncx led the way with 18 points, while Charlise Dunn added 11 points and five rebounds. The Wildcats opened their season with a 57-66 road loss to Mississippi State on Nov. 3.

Florida Gulf Coast will be playing its first game of the new campaign. The Eagles’ most recent result was a 58-81 loss to Oklahoma in the NCAA tournament on March 22, 2025, ending their previous season.

The matchup pits Davidson’s early-season rhythm against an FGCU squad making its debut. The Wildcats will look to build on their offensive output from Thursday, while the Eagles aim to start a new season with a win on their home court.
