How it Happened
Rhode Island season came to an end on Saturday afternoon, falling to Davidson in penalty kicks, 5-4, in the Atlantic 10 Championship quarterfinals at the URI Soccer Complex.

The game had originally began on Friday evening but was paused in the 11th minute due to weather and field conditions and was resumed Saturday morning. 

The Rams (8-9-1) erased a two-goal deficit in the final six minutes of regulation to tie the game and force overtime, but the Wildcats (6-5-6) ultimately prevailed in a nine-round penalty kick shootout.

After a scoreless opening half, Davidson broke through in the 71st minute when Patrick Ward found the back of the net to give the Wildcats a 1-0 advantage. Davidson doubled its lead in the 84th minute when Aiden Boudro headed in a goal off of a corner from Charlie Frink.

The Rams responded almost immediately after surrendering the second goal. Just 44 seconds after Davidson's second goal, Tiago Barriguinha converted a penalty kick in the 85th minute to cut the deficit in half. Less than two minutes later, Daniel Goba completed the comeback, scoring off an assist from Theo Harris in the 86th minute to even the match at 2-2.

Neither side was able to find the go-ahead goal over the final minutes of regulation or through two 10-minute overtime periods, sending the match to penalty kicks.

Davidson converted its first two attempts in the shootout before Rhode Island rallied with three consecutive successful kicks from Goba, Maksim Kalina, and Anyole Peter. After the teams remained deadlocked through eight rounds, Davidson's Hampton Hughes converted in the ninth round to give the Wildcats the advantage. Rhode Island was unable to answer on its final attempt, allowing Davidson to advance.
