After nearly two weeks off, mostly due to inclement weather, the Embry-Riddle women's soccer team returned to the pitch last weekend and came away with a 2-0 record, notching wins against Florida Memorial (13-1) and St. Thomas (4-1). The Eagles are 7-1 overall and will be looking for their third conference win of the year against Ave Maria.

Andrea Froshuag vaulted to the top of the Eagles' scoring chart this season with a record-setting performance against Florida Memorial (Sept. 26).

Katherine Ebbs is the Eagles' assist leader with five, while Isabelle Haaranen and Annie Gelnaw have contributed six and four goals, respectively.
