Agnes Scott on Wednesday was the first by an Eagle since Jamie
English accomplished the feat on September 16, 2007 against the
University of the South… Emory’s three-match shutout
streak is the longest since the Eagles opened their 2008 campaign
with six-consecutive shutouts… The Eagles have outscored
their opponents 20-4 this season, including a 7-1 margin in the
second half and overtime… In the first half of matches this
season, Emory has outshot its opponents 31-6… 10 different
Eagles have scored at least one goal this season, and six different
Emory players have scored a game-winning goal.
