DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--The Embry-Riddle women's soccer found it tough going against No. 6 ranked Lee University, falling 2-0 at ERAU Soccer Stadium on Thursday evening.

The Lady Flames, who fell in last year's national championship game, used a pair of first half goals and stout defense to shutout the Eagles for the first time this season.

Lee scored in just the fifth minute of the match, when leading scorer Janaina Novaes' slow roller trickled past a diving Stephanie Taylor and into the Eagle net.  Substitute Marina Lima doubled the lead six minutes before the break when she took good control of a Kristine Tuck free kick and drove it into the left side of the goal.

Jessica Garcia had Embry-Riddle's greatest chance to get on the scoreboard, as her run down the right side found her with plenty of free space, but a sliding save from Lee goalie Caitlin Wohlander denied the first chance, and though Garcia controlled the rebound, a brilliant header from Luana Novaes kept the ball out of the net.

Before the game, Embry-Riddle honored its three seniors - Garcia, Holly Davis, and Katrina Morgan.  It was the Eagles' last home match of the season. 

Embry-Riddle finishes up their schedule with a three game road trip, starting next Wednesday at Webber International.
