Fourth-seeded Davidson (9-6-3, 4-2-2 Atlantic 10) took the lead over fifth-seeded George Mason (7-6-3, 4-2-2 Atlantic 10) late in the first half.  In the 42nd minute, the Wildcats sent a cross from the right side of the area to junior forward Myles Culley who redirected a low shot into the center of the net for his team-leading seventh goal of the season to put the Wildcats in front, 1-0.

The Patriots recorded nine shots in the first half of play.  Graduate student forward Jacobo Sanfeliu took four shots and freshman forward Jaime Godinho had two shots with one on frame in the opening half of the match.

With 24 minutes remaining in the second half, Sanfeliu scored on a break but after video review the goal was disallowed on an offside call.

In the 72nd minute, Culley charged on goal with Salvado coming out to cut down the angle and forced Culley to chip the ball over the crossbar.

Sereno scored the equalizer in the 78th minute when he blistered a shot into the lower left corner for his sixth goal of the season to tie the match, 1-1.
