Notes from Coach Denton on the Road
"We got off to a good start with any early goal, which settled the team down on our first away trip of the year. We lost our way in the middle of the half and did not retain the ball well enough. The second half we were better defensively, but did not keep the ball enough to dictate the play of the game. The second goal gave us a cushion and we survived a late scare for the win. Proud of the group and now we must recover for a very tough game at ECU on Sunday."
Davidson plays at East Carolina Sunday at 2 p.m.
