THE SHORT STORY
Behind a pair of second-half goals from redshirt junior Emma Kershner, VCU Women's Soccer defeated Davidson 2-0 Tuesday night at Sports Backers Stadium.

QUICK FACTS
  • The goals mark the second and third of the season for Kershner
  • Redshirt junior Lyndsey Gutzmer recorded her first assist of the season
  • Sophomore Anna Bagley also tallied an assist, her second of the year
  • In her first start this season, junior goalkeeper Grace Young recorded a save in her only opportunity
  • VCU totaled seven shots in the match, placing four on goal
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • To open the match, Davidson was content to play defense and search for opportunities to counter. VCU held possession for 66% of the first half, but struggled to find scoring chances
  • In the 58th minute, Gutzmer split a pair of Davidson defenders along the right side of the box and centered the ball to Kershner who placed it in the top-left corner of the net
  • Following the goal, Davidson adjusted its attack and began pushing the ball down the field, putting pressure on the Rams' backline.
  • In the 73rd minute, Bagley turned a corner on the Wildcats defense. The sophomore raced alongside the end line and found a cutting Kershner who struck the ball past the outstretched arms of Davidson's junior goalkeeper Mary Grace Bunch.
  • Even with a more aggressive offensive look in the second half, the Rams limited the Wildcats to just three total shots in the match
WHAT'S NEXT
VCU will travel to the nation's capital on Thursday to take on George Washington. The match is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. and will be available for live stream on ESPN+.
