\nQuick Facts<\/p>\n
\n\tNo. 37 recruit in the class of 2026. Five-star recruit with an 88-scout grade on Inside Lacrosse. “Davis played a key role in her team’s success. She plays big, cutting down shooting angles and making it hard for players to get the ball around her. Her hands are quick and combined with her hesitant-free decision making she is able to successfully pick off passes around the crease. Davis thrives under pressure, making game changing saves to keep the game in her teams favor.” \u2013 Inside Lacrosse.
