Eagles defeat Saints 2-1 in OT

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Add another one to the long list of Embry-Riddle and Flagler soccer games to remember. ERAU and FC's women's soccer teams battled into overtime Wednesday night at Saints Stadium with the Eagles coming out on top, 2-1.

ERAU (2-3) left victorious after a battle in the Flagler (3-1) goalie box during the 96th minute. After a scrum, Flagler's Tiffany Urquhart mistakenly knocked the ball into the net, resulting in an own goal and sealing the victory for the Eagles in the first overtime.

Embry-Riddle attempted 13 shots, seven of which were on goal, with Flagler goalie Hope McArthur making six saves on the night. Junior goalie Brelyn Bingham had one save in goal for the Eagles while senior goalie Stephanie Taylor notched the win.

Extra time was necessary after 90 mintues of non-stop play by both teams, resulting in a 1-1 tie after two halves. Both goals during regulation occurred during the first half.

After 40 scoreless minutes of play, ERAU got on the board after a penalty kick taken by freshman forward Elina Johansson. It was Johansson's 10th goal of the season.

Flagler answered back with 3:13 left on the clock with a goal from Annika Hogberg, leaving the game tied at 1-1 for the remainder of regulation.

The game was scrappy and the air was filled with whistles due to the 31 fouls called in the game, 21 of which were committed by Flagler. Junior defender Dena Rozalsky anchored the backline for the Eagles, halting offensive attacks by the Saints and helping ERAU to victory with tenacious defense.

The Eagles head to Rollins next Wednesday at 7 p.m., looking to hit the .500 mark before a two-game stint in Savannah, Ga. the following weekend.
