DALLAS, Texas — Making their first trip to the state of Texas, the Davidson women's soccer team did not have the outcome they were hoping for as they dropped a 3-0 setback to Southern Methodist in their final game of the three-day trip on Sunday afternoon.
Davidson, which played at No. 7 Texas A&M on Friday, did not score a result in their two games as the Wildcats fell to 2-3 on the season. SMU ran its record to 3-1-1.
After playing well against the Aggies on Friday night, the Wildcats came out a bit sluggish in the first half against SMU and the Mustangs took advantage.
The Wildcats found themselves down 2-0 after the Mustangs netted a pair of goals less than a minute apart in the late stages of the 25th minute and just past the beginning of 26th minute. Jessica Bartol and Kristen Medeiros each scored a goal to give Southern Methodist all the scoring it would need.
The Mustangs added one more goal in the 49th minute of the second half by Shelby Redman for the final score of 3-0.
Davidson's best chance to score was in the last stages of the second half when Kelsey Krueger (Keller, Texas) pushed a ball into the six-yard box and crossed it over to Elizabeth Underwood (Atlanta, Ga.) who tried to get a touch on the ball but just missed it on the far side.
The junior tandem of Jessie Baxa (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) and Christy Carry (Dallas, Texas) each split time in goal, getting a pair of saves apiece.
Davidson was able to only get off five shots on the afternoon and it was held without a corner kick.
The Wildcats stay on the road as they head to the College of Charleston Tournament in Charleston, S.C. next weekend, Sept. 10-12. The last time the 'Cats were invited to the Cougars' tournament they took home the tourney title with wins over Southeastern Conference schools LSU and Vanderbilt. This year, Davidson will face Presbyterian and Iowa.
