BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Davidson women's soccer team battled No. 12 Virginia Tech Thursday night and did not back down from the nationally ranked team before time ran out in falling in the end 2-1 at Thompson Field.
The Wildcats dropped to 1-4 on the season, while the Hokies remained unbeaten at 7-0-1.
Quick Hits About and From the Game:
• This was the second straight year the two teams were meeting each other.
• It was Davidson's first time in program history playing a ranked opponent in back-to-back seasons, having faced this same Virginia Tech team a year ago at Alumni Stadium when it was ranked fifth in the nation.
• The Wildcats fell to 4-5-1 in the all-time series vs. the Hokies.
• It was a scoreless draw after the first half as Davidson held Virginia Tech without a first-half goal for the third time this year.
• Down 1-0, Vicky Bruce tied things up at the 65:35 mark for the 'Cats with her first goal of the season off her own rebound on a shot that went off the cross bar and was then headed back into the net.
• The senior now has a team-best three points on the year.
• The Hokies scored the game winner in the 74th minute off a header from Ashley Meier.
• Davidson got off two more shots in the half, including a header by Rachel Western, but it was saved by the Hokies' goalkeeper in the 89th minute.
• Freshman keeper Kendall Thomas got her first career start in goal and faced 12 shots, registering five saves as she played very well.
• Tech held advantages in shots (12-5) and corner kicks (6-0) on the night.
The Wildcats will return home for the weekend to take on N.C. State Sunday, Sept. 13, at 2 p.m.
