DAVIDSON, N.C. – A goal in the 60th minute by George Mason spoiled Davidson's Senior Day as the Wildcats fell 1-0 Sunday afternoon in Atlantic 10 women's soccer action inside Alumni Stadium on the 1992 Team Field.
The Wildcats dropped to 2-14-1 overall (0-7-1 A-10) on the season, while the Patriots won their third straight game to run their record to 8-8-1 and 5-2-1 in A-10 play.
Quick Hits About and From the Game:
•This was just the third meeting vs. George Mason all-time since both teams first met in 2015 after the 'Cats joined the A-10 in 2014.
•Two years ago at Alumni Stadium, the Wildcats dropped a close 2-1 battle to the Patriots.
•The Patriots now hold a 3-0 lead in the series.
•Both teams played to a scoreless draw in the first half, which was the fourth time in the past six games the 'Cats held their opponent scoreless in the first 45 minutes.
•The game-winner was scored by Nia Elbeck of Mason at the 59:37 mark when she gathered in a misplayed ball by Davidson on defense and then made one move on the keeper to score her second goal of the season.
•Sabine Chandler had a team-high three shots, putting two of them on goal, and Davidson as a team finished with 10 shots overall.
•Michele Manceaux had a great look late in the game in an attempt to tie the score, but her shot went wide right.

•Senior Becca Ravitz finished with four saves between the pipes.
•Prior to the game, Ravitz along with fellow classmates Erin Gross, Rachael Western, Katie Im, Kenney Jones and Lauren Grace Himes were honored as part of Senior Day.
