DAVIDSON, N.C. — With just under two minutes left in overtime, freshman Becca Fisher struck for her fourth game-winning goal of the season when she scored to send Davidson to a 2-1 overtime win over The Citadel on Sunday at Alumni Stadium for Senior Day in Southern Conference women's soccer action.
Fisher sent a ball into the box from the near sideline that hit off the far post and bounced in for her team-leading seventh goal of the year with 98:35 on the clock in overtime.
Down 1-0 in the first half, Stephanie Piperno knotted things up in the 23rd minute with a header off a cross from Rachel Barnett that was deflected by the defense to Piperno, who rose up and knocked in her fifth goal on the year. It was Barnett's first career assist.
The defense led by senior Sophie Newsom and freshman goalkeeper Rachel Locke took care of the rest in holding the score at 1-all. The defense held the Bulldogs' two leading scorers, Mariana Garcia and Vanessa Aponte (15 points each), scoreless on the afternoon.
Prior to the game, Davidson honored its six seniors in Stephanie Gerow, Jessie Baxa, Elizabeth Underwood, Mary Marshall Meredith, Christy Carry and Newsom as they played their second-to-last home contest of their careers.
The Wildcats hit the road for their final two away games. They will play at Samford next Friday, Oct. 21, and then travel to Chattanooga on Sunday.
