RIO GRANDE, Ohio ? Second-half goals by Joe Yoffe and Ian Thompson lifted the fourth-ranked Embry-Riddle men's soccer team to a 2-1 upset of second-ranked Rio Grande in the final game of the Rio Grande Tournament on Saturday. The win snapped a 112-game regular season unbeaten streak for the Redmen who suffered their last regular season loss to Ohio Dominican on Oct. 17, 2000. The Eagles improved to 5-0 on the year, while the Redmen drop to 6-1 with the loss.

From the first whistle, both teams played at a very fast pace with Rio Grande holding a 4-1 advantage in shots, including one on goal in the first half. But neither team was able to find the back of the net resulting in a scoreless tie at the halftime break.

Rio Grande broke the deadlock in the 69th minute when the referree called a foul on the Eagles in the penalty box. Conar Dawson converted on the penalty kick to give the Redmen a 1-0 advantage.

The Rio Grande goal served to ignite the Eagle offense and after a couple of near misses, ERAU finally got on the scoreboard in the 75th minute. Yoffe took a shot that was deflected by a Redman defender resulting in an Embry-Riddle corner kick. Phil Middleton's short corner went to Liam McIlhatton who lifted a ball into the box. Yoffe was on the receiving end and knocked home his 11th goal of the season to knot the score at one goal apiece.

With 2:20 remaining on the clock, the Eagles earned a throw-in from deep in the Redman defensive third. Middleton's fancy footwork allowed him to get by three URG defenders and find Thompson on the far side of the six-yard box. Thompson slid in and beat Redman keeper Derek Talcott low to net the game-winner.

The Eagles return to conference play at 7 p.m. Wednesday when they host Savannah College of Art and Design at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.
