BABSON PARK, Fla. – Embry-Riddle senior Katherine Ebbs scored her sixth goal of the season in the 76th minute of play and that was all the ERAU women's soccer team (14-1) needed to get past Webber International, 1-0, on Friday evening. With the win, the Blue and Gold wrapped up The Sun Conference North Division title for the fourth straight year and will take an 8-0 league record into the regular season finale against Warner on Sunday.

The Eagles dominated the Warriors (5-7-1, 3-4-1) statistically, besting the home squad 19-2 in shots, including an 8-1 edge in shots on frame, and 12-4 in corner kicks.

The majority of the first 45 minutes was played in the Lady Warriors' half as the Eagles applied relentless pressure to the WIU defense. The first real chance of the half for the Blue and Gold came in the eighth minute when Julie Karlenas latched on to a Kristin Sverridottir corner kick, but WIU goalkeeper Kayla Hanel snagged Karlernas' header to keep the Eagles off the scoreboard.

The very next play saw WIU's Cierra Abundez race down the field on the counter attack, but with pressure from ERAU defender Hanna Rolfsen, she ran the ball out over the touch line to turn it back over to the Eagles. From that point, the Eagles controlled the offense, outshooting the Lady Warriors 10-0, including four shots on frame, but the heavy shot advantage didn't translate into goals, resulting in a scoreless draw at the half.

The pace of the game picked up in the second half with end-to-end action through the first 20 minutes. The Eagles gradually regained control of the contest and put the Warriors on their heels once again.

The Eagles finally got the breakthrough they were looking for with less than 15 minutes left in regulation. Following a WIU throw-in, Andrea Froshaug raced to pressure Hanel who was trying to control a pass from one of her defenders. Hanel, who came way off her line to make the play, rushed to get the ball out of the penalty area, but it fell to Ebbs who, on a heads-up play, noticed Hanel out of position and chipped the Warrior keeper with her first touch from 25 yards out to net the game-winner.

The Warriors went on the attack immediately following the goal, but Olivia Lynch's only save of the day was a good one as she parried Megan Howard's shot over the cross bar to keep WIU off the board and preserve the shutout.

"Overall, we're pleased with the performance and result today," ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon remarked. "We created a bunch of chances and just couldn't put the ball away, but the opportunities, effort and energy were there. Every season, there's a game or two where you don't get the bounce and have to keep fighting for it. Today, we kept working hard and evenWIUally got the goal we needed. Now, our focus is on our last regular season game at Warner."

The Eagles' game against Warner is slated for 3 p.m. on Sunday.
