DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Mercer women's soccer squad blanked the Davidson Wildcats 3-0 Friday night at the Alumni Soccer Field. With the victory, the Bears improve their record to 3-1-1.
STAT OF THE MATCH
Despite the score line, the Wildcats outshot the Bears, 21-12 over the match.
Â
WOMAN OF THE MATCH
Sophomore forward, Abigail Zoeller, was the woman of the match for Mercer, scoring her two goals on four shots in her 53 minutes of playing time.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Wildcats saw the first chance of the match in the 3rd minute with a one on one opportunity but Bears' keeper Jordyn Ebert stepped up to make the save.
Mercer nearly scored an opener in the 17th minute as Zoeller rocketed a free kick towards goal but was denied by the Davidson keeper. Ebert would snag another save in the 28th minute to help protect the clean sheet.
Neither team would find the back of the net in the first half as they entered the break, 0-0.
Once again Mercer flexed their offense in the second half, scoring three unanswered goals. Zoeller opened the scoring as she fired a ball past the keeper from just outside the box in the 55th minute. The Bears extended their lead to 2-0 as freshman Kyra Idris connected with Logan Culver who netted her first goal of the season in the 63rd minute of play. Zoeller would score another to complete a brace as she scored off a free kick in the 81st minute.
Mercer's defense held strong to complete the 3-0 shutout.

QUOTABLES
"We had a great win tonight over a quality Davidson team on their turf. It was the first time this year I feel like we played a full 90 minutes up to our potential. We stuck to the game plan and executed it to a "t" in the second half. We got three quality goals and it was an overall team effort. I'm very proud of our team and we're looking forward to another tough game ahead at Betts Stadium Sunday night against Presbyterian."-Head Coach Tony Economopoulos
