TAMPA, Fla. - The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team couldn't snap its four-game skid on Saturday night at the University of Tampa's Pepin Stadium, falling to the Spartans, 4-0. The Eagles (1-5) fell behind 3-0 at the break and were out-shot 17-7 by Tampa (6-4) as ERAU failed to find the back of the net for the second straight match.

Tampa took full advantage of its first shot of the contest as Monty Berrow tallied his first goal of the year in the ninth minute, getting a pass from Zack Soufl and beating the Eagles' Jeff Bone for an early 1-0 lead.

Ali Amiri tried to even things up a minute later, but his shot sailed high before teammate Daniel Gylfason's shot also was too tall for the goal in the 13th minute of action.

Berrow made it 2-0 in favor of the hosts with a score at the 16:12 mark, this time getting help from Bay Downin's pass.

A couple of corner kicks from Gylfason midway through the first period looked promising, and Jason Van Achteren had a shot turned away by the UT defense in the 26th minute, but Tampa held firm and would go up 3-0 in the 27th minute when Jason Collister pushed a shot past Bone on a Jake Winship pass.

ERAU couldn't get a shot off in the final 20 minutes of the half and Tampa nearly made it 4-0 right before the break, but Bone came up with a save to keep the deficit at 3-0.

The Spartans struck immediately after the whistle to start the second half, increasing their lead to four goals when Chris Campbell scored just 16 seconds into the frame.

Moriba Ballah's shot in the 71st minute was saved by Christian Knight and ERAU managed just two other shots in the second half as UT pocketed the game to snap their own two-game losing streak.

Embry-Riddle returns home to host Florida Tech on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the ERAU Soccer Stadium.
