HARDEESVILLE, S.C. – The 25th-ranked Embry-Riddle men's soccer team suffered its second Sun Conference loss of the season on Saturday, falling to No. 19 SCAD Savannah, 3-0. The Eagles are now 6-5 overall and 4-2 in the league, while the Bees improve to 11-3 overall and 6-1 in the conference.

Neither team was able to dominate the possession game in the first half as reflected in the identical numbers on the halftime stats sheet. Each team recorded five total shots with two on frame and one corner kick a piece in the first period, resulting in a 0-0 deadlock at the break.

SCAD came out as the stronger team offensively in the second half, outshooting the Eagles 6-2 in the first 10 minutes.  The Bees were finally able to convert on one of their shot attempts in the 57th minute when their leading scorer, Ellert Hreinsson hit a shot from about 30 yards out into the top right corner to make the score 1-0 in favor of the home team.

Steve Dowling increased the margin to 2-0 in the 61st minute when he chipped the ball over advancing ERAU goalkeeper Kile Kennedy for the score. The Bees won a free kick less than two minutes later and Theo Angus' free kick hit the underside of the cross bar and bounced into the goal for a 3-0 SCAD lead.

ERAU had a chance to get one back in the 69th minute off the boot of Michael Donald. Donald's free kick went curling into the box, but SCAD keeper Ross Faulds managed to get a hand to it just before it dipped under the cross bar to keep the Eagles off the board and preserve the shutout.

The Eagles continue their four-game road swing on Wednesday when they travel to Babson Park to take on Webber International. Game time is slated for 3:30 p.m.
