Eagles End Regular Season with 1-0 Win Over Sewanee
The Emory University men's soccer team ended its 2009 regular
season on a high note, as freshman Alex Scott's
goal lifted the Eagles to a 1-0 victory over the University of the
South.
After a scoreless first half, Scott headed in a long throw in from
sophomore Zach Samuels in the 56th
minute of play to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead. It was the
third goal of the season for Scott, and Samuels' sixth assist of
the campaign.
Scott has now scored a goal in each of Emory's last two games, each
having an impact on the game's outcome. After scoring the
game-tying goal in yesterday's 2-2 tie with #11 Carnegie Mellon
University, Scott struck again today with his first game-winning
goal of the campaign.
Sophomore Trenton Spindler made four saves in goal
during the contest, recording his fifth shutout of the season and
lowering his goals against average to 0.85. Meanwhile,
Emory's defense allowed just 11 shots in the game, only four of
which were on goal.
Emory's offense was able to control the ball through most of the
contest, especially in the first half. The Eagles were able
to take 21 shots during the game, including nine on goal.
The Eagles finished the regular season with a 12-4-2 record,
despite losing 11 seniors from the previous season, while Sewanee
dropped to 8-10-1 with the loss. Emory will now await the
announcement of the selections to the NCAA Division III Tournament,
set to be released on Sunday night, November 8th.
