DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Duquesne women's soccer team (4-5-2, 2-2-1 A-10) played to a scoreless draw at Davidson (4-7-2, 0-4-1 A-10) Sunday afternoon in an Atlantic 10 match.

Goalkeeper Megan Virgin (Canonsburg, Pa./Canon-McMillan) made four saves in net to earn her first shutout of the season. Duquesne entered the day as one of two teams in the A-10 without a clean sheet.

Duquesne controlled play in the first half but was unable to break through. The Dukes out-shot the Wildcats 5-to-1 and held possession for the majority of the first 45 minutes, but the match remained scoreless at halftime.
 
The Dukes nearly broke the tie in the 49^th-minute of the match off of a corner-kick from Hannah Nguyen (Irwin, Pa./Penn Trafford). Nguyen's corner attempt found Sarah Wilkinson (Smithtown, N.Y./Smithtown West), who rang a shot off of the left post. The rebound came right to the foot of Lexy Kendro (North Huntingdon, Pa./Norwin), but her shot was stopped by Davidson reserve goalkeeper Emily Smith.
 
The Wildcats sustained pressure around the 50^th-minute, but a save by Virgin and a blocked shot kept the match scoreless.
 
Davidson had two more prime scoring opportunities in the 76^th and 79^th-minutes. A shot attempt was blocked and Virgin collected the ball as it trickled near the left post in the 76^th-minute and later made a diving save to re-direct another Davidson shot to help send the match into overtime. 
 
After a scoreless first overtime session, the Wildcats had one last chance in the final minute of the second overtime. A foul just outside the box setup a free kick from the left side, but the Dukes cleared the ball out to secure the tie.

Duquesne held a 12-to-6 advantage in shots, but both teams finished with four shots on-goal. DU was granted six corner kicks, compared to three for Davidson.

The Wildcats starting goalkeeper Mary Grace Bunch, a preseason A-10 selection, was sidelined with an injury after 11 minutes. Smith for Davidson was thrust into play and made two saves.

The Dukes will have a week off until their next match on Sunday, Oct. 10. Duquesne will travel to Fairfax, Virginia to take on George Mason in an A-10 match at 1 p.m.
