DAVIDSON, N.C. – Chris Pettiglio evened the score with 59 seconds remaining in regulation and Valeriy Sviderskiy provided the golden goal in the 95th minute to lead Davidson to a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Virginia Tech in non-conference men's soccer action Tuesday evening at Alumni Stadium.
With the win, the Wildcats end a five-game slide to improve to 7-9-1 overall, while the Hokies fall to 4-6-5.
Sviderskiy's third game-winner of the season came 4:24 into overtime, when he followed his own miss from just in front off a pass from Max Pragnell.
After threatening with a couple opportunities late in the contest, Pettiglio forced overtime with a 90th minute equalizer, when he tracked down his own rebound and found the back of the net for his third goal of the season.
Davidson, which trailed the shot column 7-3 at the break, outshot the Hokies 11-6 in the second frame and overtime to finish with a 14-13 edge.
Just 39 seconds into the match, Virginia Tech took advantage of a Wildcat miscue when David Clemens intercepted a pass just outside the box and played it through to Kai Marshall, who beat goalkeeper Matt Pacifici far post.
Shane Macnamara had the best scoring chance for Davidson in the opening half, but the Hokies' Kyle Renfro made a kick save on the sophomore's low blast.
In addition to the Wildcats' late offensive charge, Pacifici came up with a number of huge saves and concluded the night with five stops. Renfro turned away a game-high six shots for Virginia Tech.
The Wildcats will wrap up the regular season with a 7 p.m. kick-off against Appalachian State Friday on 1992 Team Field.
