HARDEEVILLE, S.C. - For the seventh time in as many games the No. 12 Embry-Riddle Eagles came out on top in their women's soccer contest against Brenau (Ga.) at the SCAD Invitational. The Eagles used two goals apiece from Elina Johansson and Valerie Obita to secure the 4-0 victory. ERAU moves to 7-1 overall, and Brenau falls to 1-5.

Obita scored two goals within 23 seconds of each other in the 15th minute to give ERAU a 2-0 cushion at the half. Obita's first score came at the 14:12 mark when she broke away from the Golden Tiger defenders and placed a shot past the Brenau keeper for her seventh of the season. Obita quickly struck again at the 14:35 mark when Johansson's cross found the foot of Obita for her eighth goal of the year.

The Eagles controlled the ball easily in the first period, taking 12 of the 14 shots and all three corner kicks. Lauren Gallant, making her first start of the year, made two saves in the first half.

Johansson doubled the Blue and Gold's score in the second half, scoring off an assist from Martine Olsen in the 64th minute and then converting on a penalty kick at the 78:14 mark. Johansson scored five goals and assisted on three others over the weekend, grabbing 13 points in the Eagles' two games.

The Eagles' defense shutout their fourth opponent of the season (third in a row) as Gallant earned her first win of 2010 (1-0).

ERAU will open Sun Conference play next weekend against Warner (Fri., Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.) and Webber International (Sun., Sept. 26 at 3 p.m.) on the road in Lake Wales, Fla. and Babson Park, Fla. respectively.
