Madelyn in MotionMadelyn Davidson has become a catalyst for the Fire's fluid, possession-based style. With two goals and two assists, Davidson links the lines with clean distribution and sharp decision-making. Her tactical understanding and technical control make her one of the Fire's most valuable midfield connectors.

News and Highlights from SnoValley Sports Journal

Southeastern (FL) women 5, New College of Florida 0: Senior Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson, from Carnation, pocketed a goal and assist to help SEU blank the league rivals from Florida at home in Lakeland, FL, last night. Davidson found what appeared to be an errant pass and flicked it in with her left foot for the opening goal of the game in the fourth minute, then assisted on a goal by teammate Olivia Hadad with about 10 minutes left in the first half. Davidson, a Cedarcrest HS grad, started for the Fire and worked 78 minutes, recording four shots, all on goal, in the game.

Soccer: Lower Valley’s Davidson delivers a big goal for her team in massive upset winCarnation’s Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson has been part of some fantastic moments the past four years for the women’s soccer team at Florida’s Southeastern University. But the senior perhaps delivered her most memorable one yesterday.She took a feed from teammate Ariadna Lozano, broke away past a defender, and chip shotted it into the goal for what turned out to be the game-winner for the Fire as Southeastern pulled off its biggest regular season win in years perhaps – a 3-2 road win over Florida in-state rival Keiser University, the top-ranked team in all of NAIA women’s soccer, down in West Palm Beach, FL. The Cedarcrest High School alum started and played 74 minutes, recording three shots, two on goal including that game-winning goal which happened with about seven minutes left in regulation.The win moved Southeastern in front of Keiser in the NAIA Sun Conference standings and was only the second loss of the season for that top-ranked team.

SoccerSoutheastern (FL) women 7, Webber International 2: The Fire no pun intended turned the heat on their in-state rivals very quickly at home in Lakeland, FL, last night scoring four first-half goals then cruising to the win. Owing to how quickly things got into SEU’s favor, senior Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson, from Carnation, started but ended up playing just 46 minutes in this one with the Cedarcrest HS alum getting two shots, one on goal, but no goals unfortunately.

Southeastern (FL) 2, SCAD-Savannah 1: Southeastern defender Danielle Vogel, a junior from Florida, was a late substitution into last night’s key NAIA Sun Conference clash between the Fire and the perennial league powerhouse from Georgia on SCAD’s turf outside of Savannah, GA – she subbed in in the 79th minute and played just the final 12 minutes. But what it was she did with 33 seconds left in the game may have sparked a push for the Fire towards a strong postseason berth.Vogel took a feed from teammate Ariadna Lozano and fired it top shelf past the SCAD keeper and into the net for a goal, breaking a 1-1 tie and propelling the Fire to a stunning and massive road win. Senior Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson, from Carnation and a 2022 Cedarcrest HS grad, started and played 80 minutes in this one for Southeastern with no stats of note reported.

SoccerCollege soccer action from this past weekend involving athletes from the Valley:Florida Memorial 1, Southeastern (FL) women 0: The Fire dropped their first NAIA Sun Conference game of the fall on the road Saturday night against their in-state rivals down in south Florida. Senior Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson, she of Carnation and a Cedarcrest HS grad, started for Southeastern logging 82 minutes and recording four shots, one on goal, with no goals scored.

SoccerSoutheastern (FL) 4, Ave Maria 0: The Fire no pun intended turned up the heat on their in-state rivals in the NAIA Sun Conference opener for both squads on home turf for SEU in Lakeland, FL., Senior Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson, from Carnation, started the game for the Fire and logged 47 minutes assisting on one of the three first-half SEU goals, a 24th minute tally by teammate Olivia Hadad that was the first of two on the night for the freshman from Bradenton, FL. Fantastic leadership from Davidson to help her young teammate out on that goal, good stuff. Davidson is a Cedarcrest HS grad.

SVSJ preview: Cedarcrest girls’ soccer aims to keep success going in 2025 following state trip last season

This is a program that as noted does produce college talent – in addition to Sadie Schaefer, Madelyn “Mad Dog” Davidson is playing her final college season with NAIA Southeastern University in Florida, and as we have told you this week, goalie Kayla Hampton has found instant success this fall at her new college program, Illinois Institute of Technology. Hampton, who graduated from CHS in 2023, transferred to the Chicago university after her former school, San Francisco’s Academy of Art, scrapped their women’s soccer program as part of an overall shutdown of their entire athletic department back in June. Also, at the community college level, defender Masyn Ribail, who graduated back in June, found a spot playing defense at Green River CC down in Auburn. So we’ll be sure to keep an eye periodically on them for you as well.

Sunday Post:

We have a dual headliner this morning involving a pair of young ladies from the lower Valley who dazzled yesterday in their respective sports, helping their teams post successful results. First, we hit the soccer pitch, where Carnation's Madelyn "Mad Dog" Davidson was once again a difference maker for Southeastern University of Florida's ladies. The junior scored both of her team's goals, including the game winner with about five minutes left in regulation, helping SEU sneak past New College of Florida last night 2-1 on the Florida Gulf Coast. Davidson, a junior with the Fire, had a total of seven shots recorded in the game, five on goal, as the Fire needed every last bit of the Cedarcrest HS grad's energy to score that much-needed win as Southeastern has struggled to start the season. WTG Mad Dog!
