CLINTON, S.C. – Davidson ran its winning streak to four straight with a 3-0 victory over Presbyterian in non-conference men's soccer action Friday evening at Martin Stadium.

With the win, the Wildcats improve to 4-2-1 overall, while the Blue Hose fall to 1-7-0.

“Tonight we accomplished what we wanted, a shutout and multi-goal win,” said Davidson head coach Matt Spear. “This was a total team effort, with a number of guys contributing, including all three goalkeepers.”

Named SoCon Player of the Week on Tuesday, Valeriy Sviderskiy gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead with the eventual game-winner in the 37th minute. Fellow forward Andrew DiLallo set up the freshman's one-on-one opportunity and fourth goal in the last three games.

Senior Brian McGue's penalty kick extended Davidson's lead to 2-0 at the 69:52 mark. It was McGue's second successful try of the season as the midfielder provided the difference-maker in Davidson's win over USC Upstate.

Less than five minutes later, Alex Feliciano put the game out of reach when he found the back of the net off an Alex Givens' cross into the box for his first career strike.

The Wildcats held a 12-10 edge in shots, while the Blue Hose finished with a 6-1 margin in corner kicks.

“We are very much looking forward to continuing our winning ways as we begin conference play,” Spear commented.

Davidson returns home Tuesday evening for its SoCon opener against UNC Greensboro at 7 p.m.
