The Eagles last saw action on Sept. 12 when they were edged by ninth-ranked William Carey at a tournament hosted by Mobile in Orange Beach, Ala., home of the 2014 NAIA National Championship. The Eagles' playing schedule was cut short when severe storms in the Orange Beach area brought the ERAU/Mobile match to a halt after just three minutes of play. ERAU is 5-1 on the year and has recorded upsets of fourth-ranked Northwood and fifth-ranked Concordia (Calif.). THE BUCCANEERS A member of the NCAA II Sunshine State Conference, eighth-ranked Barry is in its second season under the guidance of Head Coach Denise Brolly. Brolly, who led the Lady Buccaneers to the 2013 SSC regular season title, will be returning to Daytona Beach, where she played one season for the Embry-Riddle women's soccer team in 2002. The Lady Bucs bring a 3-1-1 record into Tuesday's game. Their last time out saw Barry stumble against conference foe Florida Southern, falling to the Lady Moccasins 2-1. Three Lady Buccaneer players are tied with four points in so far this season as Lauren Manna and Amanda Traynor have two goals each, while Tamara Vuckovich has a goal and two assists. Becca Rogers has played all 470 minutes in the Barry nets, recording three shutouts and a0.57 goals against average.		• Roster • Media Guide • Schedule/Results • Sun Conference Standings
