DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The 14th-ranked Embry-Riddle (4-0) women's soccer team notched its fourth win of the season in dramatic fashion on Friday night as the team scored a “Golden Goal” in the 95th minute to take 2-1 win over No. 9 Concordia (Calif.) (6-1) at the Habitat for Humanity Invitational hosted by Embry-Riddle. Billed as the NAIA Game of the Week, the match lasted two hours and one minute after being delayed by an hour and a half due to inclement weather in the Daytona Beach area.

The Eagles from Concordia's Irvine, Calif. campus looked to strike early and registered the first shot of the game in the eighth minute, but ERAU goalkeeper Lauren Gallant grabbed the visitors' only attempt on frame and that helped ERAU settle into a rhythm.  The majority of the remainder of the first half was played between the 18-yard boxes as both teams played a possession style game, resulting in a 0-0 tie at the half.

Coming out of the break, CUI seemed to push forward a little more and continued with that strategy despite being caught offside three times in the first eight minutes of the half. Concordia's persistence eventually paid off as Bri Lopez  broke the deadlock in the 57th minute when she took advantage of a couple of defensive miscues by ERAU to put Concordia up 1-0.

ERAU seemed to have the answer a few minutes later when Cecilie Henrikssen played a ball to Krizzy Menez on the run. Menez outran two defenders and dribbled the ball into the box, but her shot missed just wide of the goal leaving Concordia's one-goal edge intact.

With 12:08 left on the clock Tova Torstensson won the ball in the back field and completed a pass to Henrikssen about 10 yards inside the Concordia half of the field. Henriksen spun quickly and immediately got the ball to Menez sprinting down the right side. Menez's pace allowed her to get a low driven cross off and Valerie Obita was perfectly positioned to slide in an push the ball past Concordia goalkeeper Bekah Garvin to level the score at 1-1.

ERAU's goal caused the game to pick up in intensity as both teams played with more of a sense of urgency in an effort to record the game-winner, but neither team was able to find the back of the net, sending the game into overtime.

In the first period of overtime, it was Concordia who had the first opportunity to make something happen, earning a corner kick just under three minutes into extra time. After drawing CUI into an offside position on the set piece, the Eagles immediately went back on the attack. Playing in the Concordia defensive third, the Blue and Gold quickly switched the point of attack from one side of the field to the other allowing Henrikssen to find Menez on the wing once again. After collecting the pass, Menez pushed the ball out ahead of her and sped past a CUI defender to release another cross into the box. This time is was Martine Olsen who was on the receiving end and the sophomore buried her seventh goal of the season to give ERAU the win.

The Eagles will partner with the other five teams in the tournament (Concordia, Northwood, Warner, Auburn Montgomery and Graceland) to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity on Saturday. The teams will return to soccer on Sunday with Concordia taking on Warner at 11 a.m., followed by Northwood vs. Auburn Montgomery at 1:30 p.m. and Embry-Riddle vs. No. 21 Graceland at 4 p.m. Warner edged AUM 2-1 in overtime in the first game of the tournament, while Northwood and Graceland played to a 2-2 tie on Friday.
