PARKING: Fans, we look forward to seeing you at Alumni Stadium. With various construction projects, the path behind Baker Sports Complex is currently closed. So the primary parking lot this Fall will be the Greenhouse lot next Alumni Stadium and Ramsey Lot above our intramurals field. Both of these are accessible via Ridge Road, the recommended campus entry point.
DAVIDSON, N.C. — Davidson will kick-off its 2015 season Friday evening when in-state foe Campbell visits Alumni Stadium and 1992 Team Field for a 7 p.m. contest.
Davidson, which has not dropped its first game of the season since 1998, is 33-20-6 all-time in openers. A year ago, the Wildcats trailed Cal Poly 2-0 at the break before rallying for a 4-3 win.
Davidson, which will play four of its first five at home, returns all-conference performers Matt Pacifici (0.65 GAA, 7 shutouts), Shane Macnamara (1 goal, 4 assists) and Matt Reinikka (18 starts, 1708 minutes). The Wildcats welcome the addition of nine newcomers, including Jordan Hill, who was voted to the conference's preseason all-rookie team Monday.
Davidson and Campbell have met 15 times on the pitch, with the Wildcats leading the all-time series 10-5-0, including a 3-1 win in Buies Creek last season.
2014 In Review
- Davidson's .722 winning percentage was its highest since the 1992 Final Four team.
- The Wildcats got off to a 5-0-2 start, which was the best beginning to a season since the 1982 campaign.
- Davidson was the nation's only team (out of 205) to conclude the season with just two losses.
- In addition to running its home-unbeaten streak to 10 straight dating back to last season, the Wildcats recorded their first-ever unblemished record at home going 5-0-3.
- Davidson climbed to as high as No. 3 in the NCAA RPI and was ranked in every major collegiate soccer national poll at one point during the season.
- After earning just three shutouts and allowing 30 goals two years ago, Davidson recorded eight shutouts, while giving up only 14 goals in 2014.
- For the first time in school history, Davidson defeated a pair Atlantic Coast Conference opponents on the road in the same season.
- The Wildcats, who finished 2-0-1 against the ACC, knocked off Duke and No. 2/3 Virginia on the road. Virginia would proceed to win the NCAA Championship.
- Davidson played then-ranked No. 8 Saint Louis at home and Virginia Tech away to scoreless ties.
- 25 of Davidson's 28 goals came after intermission, including four in the second half of its 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Cal Poly in the season opener.
- On Oct. 28, 2014, the Wildcats recorded their first-ever Atlantic 10 win, a 2-0 blanking of St. Bonaventure at home.
Campbell at a Glance
- In the 2014 campaign, Campbell earned an eighth-place finish in the Big South with a 5-13-0 overall record and a 2-7-0 mark in conference play with wins at Gardner-Webb and against Presbyterian.
- Matthew Mozynski became just the 10th goalkeeper in school history to make triple-digit saves in a single season, finishing with 101 stops in goal for the Camels in 2014. Mozynski made 10 or more saves in three contests, including a career-best 11 stops at North Carolina, and posted a pair of shutouts.
- Campbell returns every player who found the back of the net last season, including 2014 Big South Freshman of the Year Bradley Farias, who finished tied for third in the conference with 22 points (9 goals, 4 assists). Tunji Osifeso logged eight points (3 goals, 2 assists), and Reafe Anderson finished with seven (2 goals, 3assists).
- Head Coach Dustin Fonder takes over the Camels after spending the last eight seasons in the same position at High Point, compiling a 73-49-17 (.586) overall record with the Panthers. Fonder captured a pair of Big South Coach of the Year awards and won the 2010 regular season title after his squad posted a perfect 8-0-0 record.
