Davis Nets Two Penalty Kicks in Overtime Victory over Huskies

SAN MARCOS, Texas – Senior Kaylee Davis scored both goals from the penalty spot in the Texas State soccer team's 2-1 overtime victory over Houston Baptist Sunday night in the 4th Annual Teal Match at the Bobcat Soccer Complex. The two penalty kicks by the Allen, Texas native are the most ever by a Bobcat in a match.
 
The Bobcats are now 4-0 on the season and are undefeated in their last 17 matches, still tied for the longest streak in the nation with UCLA. The Huskies exited San Marcos with a 1-2 record.
 
Davis had an early change in the third minute with a shot attempt from the near side. It rattled off the wrong side of the left post and out for a goal kick.
 
Late in the 24th minute, Noor Abukishk got a shot off in the box right as Heather Martin was diving. The senior goalkeeper blocked the attempt but was unable to corral it. Xya Balderas followed up by squeaking the ball through multiple defenders for the opening goal, which snapped a shutout streak of 496:21 minutes dating back to last season's Sun Belt Conference Tournament semifinals against South Alabama.
 
Texas State put pressure on HBU to tie the match. The breakthrough came nearly halfway through the 36th minute when Hannah Solano's attempted pass hit off the hand of a Husky defender inside the box for a penalty kick. Davis stepped up and buried the spot kick into the left corner of the net to knot the score at 1-1.
 
Halfway through the 56th minute, Kamaria Williams got by a defender and sent a tough shot past the charging goalkeeper. The ball appeared to be on its way into the back of the net but a defender made a diving kick save at the last second to keep the score tied.
 
Renny Moore had a good look early in the 88th minute but saw the keeper make a diving stop in the bottom right corner.
 
HBU was able to place a shot on goal almost a minute into the overtime period. The attempt was caught by Martin as the Bobcats increased their pressure on the visitors.
 
Over the next seven-plus minutes, the Bobcats were able to get multiple crosses into the box and won two corner kicks. Off of one of the corner kicks, Holly Streber ripped a shot from about eight yards out that was unfortunately blocked by a Husky.
 
With 1:35 left on the clock in the extra period, Solano sent a cross into the box and saw a defender hit the ball with her hand to award TXST a penalty kick. Davis stepped up and smashed the ball into the right corner for the match-winning score.
 
The Bobcats outshot HBU 16-12 but saw the visitors hold a 7-6 advantage in shots on goal. Davis took a season-high seven shots and placed three of them on goal. Also taking multiple shots for TXST was Moore with three.
 
With her two tallies, Davis now has 28 goals in her Texas State career and is now alone in fourth-place in program history. The Allen, Texas native also jumped into a tie for fourth with 156 shots to match Jaynee Sherman's (2001-04) total. Davis is now also third in career match-winning goals with her 11th tonight.
 
Martin made six saves between the posts and picked up her 29th career victory.
 
Next weekend sees the Bobcats begin a stretch of three consecutive road matches. First up is a contest at UTEP on Friday at 8 p.m. CT
