DAVIDSON, N.C. — Senior Callan Elswick (Locust Grove, Va.) headed in her first goal of the season off a corner kick and the Davidson Wildcats remained undefeated at home in taking a 2-0 shutout victory over visiting Winthrop in women's soccer action on Sunday afternoon at Alumni Stadium.
The 'Cats (4-4) ran their home mark to 3-0 as they finished up their non-conference schedule. Winthrop remained winless as the Eagles fell to 0-6-1 on the year.
Both of Davidson's goals came in the second half and were off corner kicks. The first was an own goal as a clear attempt by an Eagle defender hit off one of their own players and found the back of the net.
The second goal came in the 81st minute off a great play from Rachael Newmister (Clover, S.C.). Senior Allison Drutchas (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) lined up for a corner on the far sideline, kicked it to Newmister, who was on the outer part of the six-yard box. The sophomore rose up and headed th ball to the far post, where Elswick timed the pass perfectly and headed it in for the goal.
Goalkeeper Jessie Baxa (Bloomfield, Mich.) finished with three saves in earning her third shutout of the season.
Davidson looks to stay perfect at home when it starts Southern Conference play this coming weekend. The Wildcats will host Furman on Friday, Sept. 24, and then Wofford on Sunday, Sept. 26. Gametimes are set for 7 and 2 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Davidson stays perfect in the all-time series vs. the Eagles, 3-0-1 ... the last time Davidson started 3-0 at home was in 2007 ... Drutchas pushed her assist total to four on the season ... last year the Wildcats were 3-6 vs. non-conference opponents ... all four of the 'Cats wins this year have come the way of the shutout.
