DAVIDSON, N.C. — Rachael Newmister (Clover, S.C.) scored 14 seconds into the start of the second half to snap a scoreless tie and Davidson went on to capture a 2-0 shutout win in its final regular season game at home against Georgia Southern on Wednesday evening in Southern Conference women's soccer action.
Davidson (9-8-2, 7-4 SoCon) assured itself of opening the SoCon Tournament this weekend at home as the Wildcats earned the No. 4 seed and will host Furman on Sunday at 3 p.m. The 'Cats finished out on a strong note, winning their final two contests and seven of their last 10 games overall. They also played very well down the stretch at home, winning their last five games in a row.
Georgia Southern (6-10-2, 4-6-1 SoCon) also earned a spot in the league tournament, finishing seventh.
After both teams played a 0-0 tie through the first 45 minutes, Davidson raced down the field to open the second half. Just 14 seconds into the new half, Newmister got her own rebound shot and put the second shot past the diving Eagle goalkeeper for her fourth score of the season.
Freshman Carly Brahim (Rachos Palos Verdes, Calif.) added an insurance goal at the 65:20 mark when she gathered in a rebound shot from Becca Fisher (Fredricksburg, Va.) and pushed a shot to the near post for her second collegiate goal of the season.
Davidson gears itself up for the first round of the SoCon Tournament when it hosts fifth-seeded Furman this Sunday, Oct. 30 at 3 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Davidson finished 6-4-2 at home ... goalkeeper Rachel Locke (Carlsbad, Calif.) improved her record to 8-5-1 ... goalkeeper Christy Carry teamed with Locke in goal to earn the Wildcats fourth shutout of the season ... head coach Greg Ashton is now 12 wins away from 100 during his tenure at Davidson ... the 'Cats ran their all-time record to 18-8-1 and improved to 4-0-1 in the last five meetings vs. the Eagles.
