DAVIDSON, N.C. –– The Davidson women's soccer team was limited to only two shots and gave up a goal in the 80th minute to Ashley Collins as the Air Force Falcons secured a 1-0 late-decision win over the Wildcats for their first win of the season. Davidson saw its record fall to 1-2 in the early going of the 2007 season, while Air Force improved to 1-2 overall.

It was the first-ever meeting between the two schools as Davidson is making the program's first-ever trip to the state of Colorado.

After playing a scoreless first half, in which neither team mustered much of an attack, Air Force came through in the 80th minute of the second period.

Collins gathered in a loose ball from 15 yards out and was able to shoot one past senior goalie Bevin English (Charleston, S.C.) off a deflection for her first score of the season. English was just a split-second off of coming up with the save. She finished the contest with five saves.

Both teams combined for only five shots in the first stanza with Davidson's lone two shots for the game coming in that half. Air Force outshot the Wildcats on the evening, 9-2.

Despite the loss, Davidson did have a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks, getting four of them in the first half, but were never able to capitalize on any of them.

The Wildcats wrap up their visit in Colorado when they battle Colorado College on Sunday at 1 p.m. (EST). Both teams played to a 2-2 draw in their only matchup ever back in 2005. The Tigers (1-1-1) defeated McNeese State by the score of 1-0 in their latest game on Friday.
