CHARLESTON, S.C. — Thanks to an early first-half goal off the foot of senior Blakely Low (San Antonio, Texas), the Davidson women's soccer team scored their third win in the past four games, taking a 1-0 Southern Conference road decision over The Citadel on Sunday afternoon.

Low's game-winner was her second of the season, both coming in two of the last three games. She has a team-best five goals on the year to push her career total to 16.

After dropping four straight from mid-September to the end of the month, the Wildcats have turned things around and won three of their last four contests with all three wins coming against SoCon-foes. With the win, they improved to 6-9 overall and evened their SoCon mark at 3-3.

The Citadel, which earned its first road league win ever on Friday at Georgia Southern, fell to 5-9 and 2-4 in league action.

The lone score of the game came in the 14th minute when Low fired off her second shot of the contest that found the back of the net at the 14:55 mark for a Wildcat 1-0 advantage.

Davidson's defense and goalkeeper, Jessie Baxa (Bloomfield, Mich.) took care of the rest, shutting out the Bulldogs the rest of the way for the 1-0 win. The shutout win was Baxa's second of the year as she finished with three saves between the pipes.

For the second game in a row, Davidson tallied at lest 20 shots, closing with 24 for the game and putting 10 of them on goal. The Citadel had six shots in the contest, and were held to just one corner kick compared to the Wildcats' six.

Davidson returns home to Alumni Stadium for its next two games, hosting Wofford on Friday, Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m. and then facing Furman on Sunday at 2 p.m.
