DAVIDSON, N.C. — Freshman Becca Fisher (Fredericksburg, Va.) tallied her third game-winning goal when she took a cross in the box and headed in the lone goal late in the second half to send Davidson to a 1-0 victory over Western Carolina on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Stadium in Southern Conference women's soccer action.

The win gave the Wildcats a perfect 2-0 weekend as they finished out their four-game homestand 3-1. They bumped their overall record to an even 6-6-2, while moving to 4-2 in league play. Western fell to 8-5-1 overall and 3-3 in the SoCon.

Fisher's goal came in the 84th minute when she gathered in a perfectly placed cross from fellow freshman Rachel Stelter (The Woodlands, Texas) and headed the ball in for her team-leading fifth goal of the season. The assist for Stelter was her team-best fourth on the year.

Goalkeeper Rachel Locke (Carlsbad, Calif.) had a solid weekend, with a pair of shutout victories to give her three on the season. She finished the afternoon with one save to improve her record to 5-3-1 between the pipes.

The Wildcats, winners of four of their last five games, take to the road for a 7 p.m. contest at College of Charleston on Thursday, Oct. 13.
