A historic season for the Davidson College women’s basketball team ended in heartbreak this week with just one game left remaining in the regular season. 

The school announced Friday that despite a program-best record of a 12-1 start, the Wildcats have canceled the remainder of the 2023-24 season due to a "significant number of injuries."

"The injuries we have sustained this season have weighed heavily on our entire program. This decision is not one that we are taking lightly, as no one wanted it to end this way," head coach Gayle Fulks said in a statement provided by the school.

"Our team of young women is the strongest, most caring, and most competitive team I have ever been a part of. They have been an absolute JOY to coach, every single day. Despite the challenging nature of the way this season has unfolded, our team never wavered and competed to the very end."

Fulks continued, "I am confident there is no team in the country that would have handled the hardship we faced with as much grace, strength, and adaptability as our young women did. I am so proud of them."
