Gavin McFarlin -- Assistant SID


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Samford Bulldogs scored single goals in the first and second half to earn a 2-0 win over Davidson on Friday night at the Samford Track and Soccer Stadium in a key Southern Conference matchup in women's soccer.

Davidson, fighting to hold onto the fourth spot in the league standings, fell to 7-8-2 overall and 5-4 in the SoCon. The 'Cats had entered play winners of five of their last seven games. Samford, second in the league standings, remained unbeaten in SoCon play at 7-0-2, while improving to 9-5-2 overall.

Samford got the only goal it would need in the 25th minute as Brittany Hoffman rifled a shot from 25 yards into the top right corner of the net.

The first half was fairly even, with Davidson getting two shots and Samford four. The 'Cats also had a pair of corner kicks, but were not able to covert on either of the set plays.

The Bulldogs tacked on one more insurance goal with less than 15 minutes remaining in the contest when Michelle Moll scored on a  shot from 20 yards out.

Davidson finished with just seven shots and only one of those was on goal. Becca Fisher and Stephanie Piperno, the Wildcats two leading scorers, were held to just one shot each.

Rachel Locke came up with four saves in goal, falling to 6-5-1 between the pipes. Samford's Alyssa Whitehead picked up her fifth shutout of the year and had one save.

The Wildcats finish out its last road game of the regular season with a trip to Chattanooga on Sunday for a 2 p.m. contest.
