RADFORD, Va. – Charlie Reiter scored the game-winning goal just 21 seconds into the match while the Davidson defense held Radford scoreless as Davidson men's soccer earned a 2-0 victory over Radford on Wednesday night at Cupp Field.
Machel Turner's opening attack was thwarted by a Radford defender, but the ball was deflected to Reiter who rifled it through traffic from the top of the penalty box to give Davidson the early advantage. The Westport, Conn. native also earned an assist on Davidson's second goal when Turner tallied his first goal of the season early in the second half. Turner put home Reiter's pass just inside the left post at the 55:54 mark.
“It was a commanding performance,” said head coach Matt Spear. “Scoring such an early goal got us off on the right foot and then the team was very composed and workmanlike throughout the match and held on for the win.”
Davidson (3-1) goalkeeper Chip Sanders turned away two shots on goal to earn his second shut out of the season. The Wildcats held Radford (2-2) to nine shots in the game.
Davidson's offense fired 15 shots, seven on goal. Turner kept the pressure on Radford throughout the night, leading Davidson with four total, three on net. Reiter now leads Davidson in scoring through four games with seven points (3 goals, 1 assist).
Davidson men's soccer will play their second of three consecutive road matches on Saturday night, traveling to face Presbyterian in Clinton, S.C. at 7 p.m.
