Embry-Riddle Blanks Southeastern, 3-0

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Freshman Valerie Obita scored twice and sophomore Krizzy Menez added a score of her own as the No. 22 Embry-Rddle women's soccer team blanked Sun Conference foe Southeastern 3-0 on Thursday night. The Eagles, 12-2-2 overall, move to 5-1-2 in conference play while the Fire fall to 8-6 overall and 3-5 in The Sun Conference.

Obita put the Eagles up early when she found the back of the goal in the ninth minute off a tremendous cross by Menez. It was Obita's 16th score of the year and gave ERAU a 1-0 lead, an advantage they would carry into the half.

The Blue and Gold dominated the first half statistically, out-shooting the Fire 13-2, earning a 4-2 advantage in corner kicks while Jennifer Grimes had to make just one save in the first period compared to six saves by SEU's keeper.

Obita grabbed her 17th goal of the season in the 64th minute by using a nice move to get around a Fire defender and then blasting her second goal of the game into the SEU net. Menez would get her own score of the night in the 73rd minute of play, putting back a rebounded ball past a diving Fire goalie to account for the 3-0 final.

The Eagles wrap up their 2010 regular season schedule on Saturday by hosting Ave Maria at 6 p.m. Saturday's game is set as senior night for the 2010 Eagle seniors.
