Men’s Soccer Drops Contest at No. 5 Virginia Tech
10/12/2021 9:04:00 PM | Men's Soccer
BLACKSBURG, Va. – Playing its fourth nationally-ranked opponent of the 2021 campaign, Davidson suffered a 4-0 setback to No. 5 Virginia Tech in non-conference men's soccer action Tuesday evening at Thompson Field.
The Wildcats, who are now 2-2-0 against the Top-25 this season, fall to 7-5-1 overall, while the Hokies improve to 8-1-3.
Conor Pugh paced Virginia Tech with a goal in each half, including the eventual game-winner at the 15:35 mark that was assisted by Nick Blacklock and Chris Little.
Pol Monnels extended the Hokies' advantage to 2-0 in the 32nd minute going top shelf with a left-footed strike.
Just prior to intermission, Benjamin Gilligan had a great opportunity to cut the deficit in half, but the Wildcat forward was unable to get a clean touch on a loose ball in the box that a Tech defender cleared off the end line.
Virginia Tech's final score of the night came off a Sivert Haugli penalty kick in the closing minutes.
Michael Zemanek led both keepers with six saves for the Wildcats.
Up Next
Davidson resumes conference play Saturday when Massachusetts visits Alumni Stadium for a 1 p.m. "Senior Day" matchup.
