LYNCHBURG, Va. – Danielle King tallied her second goal of the season but Pacific struck three consecutive times as fourth-ranked Davidson fell 3-1 to the West Division's third-ranked Tigers in a consolation match up at the 2013 NorPac Tournament at Liberty Field Hockey Field Friday evening.

Davidson's lead lasted for nearly 10 minutes before Counsman took a pass from Kayley Brown and knocked it in from close range following a penalty corner to tie the game at 1-1. Another ten minutes went by before Grindatti gave the Tigers the 2-1 lead with a strike off a rebound near the right post.
