BABSON PARK, Fla. - Embry-Riddle's hopes of a perfect season came to an end on Friday as the Webber International Warriors topped the Eagles in three sets in the conference opener for both teams (25-20, 25-20, 25-17).
The Eagles had a tough time gathering momentum in a packed WIU gym, as the home team took advantage of their location and rowdy fans. The Warriors out hit the Eagles marking 41 kills to the Eagles 37, hitting .298 to ERAU's .139. Webber International's major strength against the Eagles was its defense as they picked up 48 of ERAU's attacks.
Marissa Gonzales had 31 assists in the match and added three kils and three digs.
Alana Martinez led the Eagles with 13 kills.
The Blue and Gold will step on to the court on Saturday against Warner Southern in Lake Wales, Fla. at 2 p.m.
