score a game-winning goal... Emory is yet to allow a first-half
goal this season, outscoring its opponents 10-0 in the first period
of play... The Eagles have gone 6-0-0 in road matches during the
season... Emory goalkeeper Trenton Spindler has
gone 7-1-0 this season with a 0.56 goals against average, including
