DAVIDSON, N.C. - The Davidson men's soccer team created a myriad of scoring opportunities, but freshman Alex Givens was the only Wildcat to find the back of the net as Davidson tied Georgia Southern, 1-1 in Southern Conference action Tuesday night in Alumni Stadium.
Davidson (5-5-6, 1-3-3 SoCon) had the advantage in offensive pressure, outshooting Georgia Southern (3-9-3, 0-5-1 SoCon), 28-9 advantage, including a 5-0 advantage in the category in the two overtime periods. However, Luigi Clendening found open space down the middle in the 83rd minute, and eluded the Wildcat defense to score from 10 yards out to equalize the game at 1-1, sending Davidson to their record seventh overtime game of the season.
Seniors Alex Caskey (Dunwoody, Ga.) and Yannick Pilgrim (Arima, Trinidad & Tobago) created the scoring opportunity for Givens late in the first half, as Pilgrim directed a pass from Caskey with one touch to Givens as he streaked towards the 18-yard box in the middle of the pitch. Givens then buried his shot in the back of the net in the 43rd minute for his first career goal.
Davidson's sixth draw of the season is a program record as they remained undefeated in extra time with their lone win coming at Gardner-Webb.
Goalkeeper Neal Bates made eight saves for Georgia Southern, while junior Chip Sanders (Thomasville, Ga.) made six stops for the Wildcats.
Caskey led Davidson with four shots while four different Wildcats had three.
The game concluded Davidson's Southern Conference regular season slate. The Wildcats will place sixth out of eight teams with their first-round opponent to be determined pending the completion of the rest of the league's schedule.
The 'Cats will return to action Saturday night in Alumni Stadium to take on Presbyterian in a match set to start at 7 p.m.
Notes: Caskey is now Davidson's sole scoring leader with 13 points on five goals and three assists … the goal was Davidson's first since a 3-0 win over Wofford Oct. 8, as they had played to two scoreless draws and suffered a 2-0 loss at Appalachian State in their last three contests.
