WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. ? Jonathan Taylor's goal late in the second half lifted the Northwood (Fla.) men's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Embry-Riddle, Tuesday at the Arrigo-Vecellio Soccer Field. The Seahawks improved their Florida Sun Conference record to 3-2-1 and are 4-2-1 overall, while the Eagles now stand at 3-6-2, and 3-3-1 in the league.
The Seahawks netted the first goal of the match in the 10th minute after a free kick led to a Baldvin Olafsson goal.
The Eagles equalized with just under 15 minutes remaining in regulation. After the Seahawks played the ball out of bounds on the right side of the field, AJ Barrett took the throw and got the ball into the box and found the head of Hugh Davey. Davey's initial shot was save by Northwood goalkeeper Lars Lundgren, but he pushed the rebound out to Sam Litchfield who headed home his fourth goal of the year to tie the match.
With 4:17 left on the clock, Taylor took the ball from midfield to the right side and his low shot beat Ian Levine on the near post to give the Seahawks the win.
The Eagles return to ERAU Soccer Stadium on Friday when they host fourth-ranked Lindsey Wilson at 7 p.m. Friday's contest will be the Eagles' final regular season home match of 2007.
