DAVIDSON, N.C. – After an almost two hour weather delay stalled the start of the match, Wofford men's soccer battled the Davidson Wildcats to a 2-2 tie after two overtimes in Davidson Friday night.
 
Down 2-1 in the waning minutes of the match, forward Matthew Aurednik scored the game-tying goal for the Terriers in the 86th minute on a header that got past Wildcat goalkeeper Matt Pacifici. Forward Nicky Watson led Aurednik with a centering pass from the wing to earn the assist.
 
It was Aurednik's third goal of the season in three games, and it marked the 18th goal of his career, tying him with former teammate Carlos Dominguez-Gonzalez for third on Wofford's career Division 1 goals scored record list.
 
The Terriers took an early lead in the match in the 13th minute. Midfielder Jonathan Dean launched a corner kick into the box, and defender Connor Davis headed the ball into the net for his second goal of the season. It was also Dean's third assist of the year.
 
Davidson did not wait long to answer however, as Wildcat forward Valeriy Sviderskiy scored the tying goal in the 20th minute, with an assist given to Maxi Pragnell.
 
Back and forth play ensued past halftime and deep into the second half before the advantage swung in Davidson's favor. Midfielder Christian Fechtner scored in the 76th minute to give Davidson a 2-1 lead. He was fed a pass from forward Alec Rotunda and flicked the ball past Terrier keeper Garrett Closs into the net.
 
After Aurednik tied the game, the two teams played two overtime periods, with each team taking shots to try to win the game. However, no chances were converted and the game ultimately ended in a draw.
 
The Terriers (2-0-1) were outshot in the match 13-11 and took fewer corner kicks (9-8) than Davidson. Both Pacifici and Closs add a tie to their record, with Pacifici recording four saves and Closs notching two saves in the match.
 
The Terriers record against Davidson now stands at 19-3-1 all-time. The team is off to their best three-game start to the season since 2009, when Wofford won the Southern Conference Championship after starting out the year 1-0-2.
 
Wofford next plays back at home against Presbyterian College September 8. That match at Snyder Field will start at 7 p.m., and admission is free.
