DAVIDSON, N.C. – Senior Vicky Bruce registered a single-game school-record four assists and six different Wildcats scored in leading Davidson to a commanding 7-0 win at Alumni Stadium against Francis Marion on a rainy Saturday evening in women's soccer.
The Wildcats won their third straight to improve to 4-5 on the season and picked up their first home win of the campaign. Francis Marion fell to 2-11 on the year.
Quick Hits About and From the Game:
• The seven goals on the night were the most since the Wildcats scored eight in a season-opening win over UNC Asheville in 2011.
• All four of Bruce's assists were on corner kicks as she topped her previous high of two assists in a game.
• She pushed her assist total on the season to an Atlantic 10-best eight, a team-high 12 points on the year.
• The previous program record was three assists in a game, set by six different players.
• Ashley Finke was on the other end of two of Bruce's assists, recording her second career two-goal game. She took a career-best eight shots on the evening.
• Shannon Ballard recorded her first collegiate goal on a perfectly timed header off a corner kick from Bruce.
• Fellow freshman Ann-Robert Goode also picked up her first career point on an assist late in the second half.
• Lauren Grace Himes scored her first goal of the season, with Jenni Isaac and Goode earning assists on the play.
• Dani Johnson, Sarah Tuggle and Kate Joss scored the other three goals for the 'Cats.
• Davidson took a season-best 40 shots, putting 17 of them on goal. It was the third time this year the 'Cats have taken over 20 shots in a game.
• The Wildcats earned eight corner kicks, one off its season-high set last weekend at Wofford.
• Teaming up for the shutout between the pipes was goalkeepers Becca Ravitz and Alex Carpenter.
• Davidson ran its record to 4-0 in the all-time series, which dates back to 2007, vs. Francis Marion.
• Head coach Greg Ashton moved to within nine wins of becoming the program's all-time winningest coach, collecting his 110th victory.
The Wildcats now gear up for Atlantic 10 play next week. They will open at home against VCU on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. and then travel to Las Salle, Oct. 4, for a 1 p.m. contest.
