WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The 2009-10 Sun Conference women's soccer tournament crown belongs to the Embry-Riddle Eagles after their 2-1 victory over the Northwood Seahawks on Friday afternoon. The Eagles (14-5) also shared the regular season conference title with Northwood (13-5).

The first half featured back and forth play between both squads but neither team could find the back of the net. Strong winds played a major role in keeping the teams from scoring.

The second half looked to be much like the first but a Seahawk goal in the 80th minute put Northwood up 1-0 and looking to escape with the win.

However, exactly a minute later senior Lindsey Evans struck home a free kick from five yards outside the penalty box to even the score at 1-1.

The Eagles were not done there as Sun Conference Newcomer of the Year Krizzy Menez dribbled down the right sideline and shot a ball that was initally saved by Northwood goalkeeper Mia Moeller. Menez collected the rebound and put home the Eagles' second goal to account for the final 2-1.

The Seahawks had the better of the shots 17-7, but ERAU held the edge 5-4 in corner kicks.

The Eagles advance to the 2009 NAIA National Championship. ERAU's opponent, game date and time are yet to be determined. The national tournament pairings will be announced on Sunday afternoon.
