BELK Top flight facility. Top notch school. One of the Southern Conference’s leading athletic and academic institutions. That’s the set- ting for the women’s basketball team at Davidson College. The Baker Sports Complex is the centerpiece of the Wildcats’ athlet- ics facilities and the heart of Davidson basketball. Belk Arena, which seats 5,223 for basketball, has been the Wildcats’ home since they started playing again in 1992-93. In addition to the 5,223-seat John M. Belk Arena, the complex includes the Carl and Louise Knobloch Tennis Center, Cannon Natatorium, Dickson Administrative Wing and Finley Education Center, plus the Charles W. Parker Wrestling Room, a weight room, sports medicine center, four racquetball courts and one squash court. It also houses the athletic department offices. Named in honor of the late John M. Belk ’43 — a for- mer captain of the Wildcats’ teams, a Davidson College trustee for more than 15 years and former mayor of Charlotte, This past year, Davidson made it eight straight winning seasons on its home court with an 8-5 record. The 2007-08 squad rattled off 10 wins at home and matched the teams from 1997-98, ‘98-99 and ’06-07 for the most wins at home. The ’Cats also had the second highest winning percentage in 2007-08 (.833) in their 18-year history at Belk Arena. They have gone 42-18 the past five years in home contests.
