DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.— The No. 20 Embry-Riddle men's soccer team dominated Webber International University 9-0 Saturday night in a Sun Conference match-up at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. The Eagles 6-3-1 (3-1-0) used four goals in the first half and five in the second to defeat the Warriors 2-6-1 (2-3-0).

The Warriors and Eagles went scoreless for the first 30 minutes of play, but once the Eagles found the back of the net, they never looked back as the Warrior defense struggled to keep up with the pace of the fierce Eagle offensive attack.

Embry-Riddle had many opportunities to score in the first 30 minutes, but was unable to finish in goal scoring opportunities. Ally MacDonald sparked the Eagle offensive, however, at the 30:50 mark when he headed a Michael Donald corner into the near post past Warrior goalkeeper Mathew Brust. Just 10 seconds later, after the kickoff, the Eagle men answered with their second goal of the night. The kickoff was given to Anel Coralic and he did the rest. Coralic dribbled from midfield through the Warrior defense and ripped a shot past Brust to put the Eagles up, 2-0.

The Eagles scored two more times before half, in the 34th minute and the 42nd minute. MacDonald garnered his second goal of the night and put the Eagles up 3-0 in the 34th minute when he took the ball up the left side of the pitch and rifled a shot past the keeper in the upper 90. The goal in the 42nd minute came from a through ball off of the foot of Jason Alvarez. Alvarez's ball came from the right side of the pitch and found Anel Coralic on a run down the left side of the field. Coralic made one defender miss and fired a shot in the top corner of the net for the fourth goal of the half for the Blue and Gold.

ERAU led 4-0 heading into the lockerroom and dominated the pitch in the first half besting WIU 12-2 in shots and 5-0 in corner kicks.  

Nine minutes into the second half the Eagles picked up right where they left off, scoring their fifth goal of the match. A through ball from senior Michael Donald found Coralic and he buried it into the bottom right corner for his second goal of the night.

Two minutes later, Coralic flicked a beautiful  pass to MacDonald on the near side of the pitch just outside the 18-yard box. MacDonald received the ball and found freshman Veit Couturier right in front of the goal to put the Eagles up, 6-0.

ERAU added three more goals in the thrashing of the Warriors. MacDonald and Coralic highlighted the stat book, each garnering a hat trick. Couturier added two goals, Donald had two assists and three others picked up points in the contest.

The Eagle men took 26 shots on the night, 10 on goal, and had 11 corner kicks. The Warriors took nine shots, three on goal, and struggled to stop the Eagles as they ran away with the game, 9-0.

The Blue and Gold will take the pitch again on Tuesday Oct. 4 when they host 15th-ranked Northwood at 7 p.m. at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.
