The Davie varsity soccer team’s defense did excellent work at South Iredell on Aug. 26, but the offense couldn’t get over the hump. The result was the second tie of the young season, 0-0.

Davie could not get the win even though it dominated the shots 13-7.

“We played great, but again we couldn’t get it in the back of the net,” coach Russ Fisher said. “We were all over it, but couldn’t get it in.”

As the score reflects, Davie couldn’t have played any better on the defensive end. Goalie Felipe Flores had seven saves and Zach Hill, Alex Torres, Hernan Granadero and Karson Yount formed a strong wall in the back.

“Felipe definitely stepped up. He kept us in it,” Fisher said. “The back line played great. Zach had a great game. He was chasing down people right and left.”

The tie left the Vikings at 2-1-1.

Two nights later on the road, Davie hung close with an unbeaten opponent but fell short 2-0. Salisbury (4-0-1) got both goals in the first half. Davie’s record slipped to 2-2-2.

Davie’s JV lost 3-1 at South Iredell. The halftime score was 1-1 as Talan Andrade scored with an assist from Ronald Perez. Davie entered the week with an 0-1-1 record.
