    BIO

    Davidson first fell for field hockey on the sideline by observing her older sister and role model during her indoor, outdoor, club and high school matches. “I wanted to be just like her - number, position and everything. She’s my idol so I copied her.” Davidson took to the pitch herself by playing in an indoor league in seventh grade. Shortly after her first taste of the sport, she joined club team High Styx. Davidson was then selected to compete in Futures. Her speed and premier toolset was added to Team USA in 2014.
