Emory Men’s Soccer Edges Covenant 1-0
Emory University's Trenton Spindler played
shutout soccer in goal, and junior Michael
Scannapieco scored the difference-maker, as the Eagles
earned a highly-contested 1-0 road victory over Covenant College on
Wednesday afternoon.
Spindler turned in another strong performance in goal, making eight
saves en route to his seventh victory of the season. The
shutout was the sophomore's second of the season, lowering his
goals against average to 0.56 in 2009.
Scannapieco scored the lone goal of the contest unassisted, his
first of the season, in the 74th minute of play. The junior
becomes the 12th-different Eagle to score a goal this
season, and the sixth-different Emory player to notch a
game-winner.
Emory improved to 7-1-0 on the season, including a perfect 6-0-0 in
road matches, while the Scots fell to 3-3-1 with the loss.
Emory remained undefeated against Division III teams, and has won
seven contests in a row after losing its opening match of the
season.
The Eagles will look to continue their momentum on Sunday, October
4th, as the team will begin conference play against
Washington University at the Woodruff P.E. Center.
