@ERAUMSOCCER Closes Season with 2-0 Decision at Cal State San Marcos

SAN MARCOS, Calif. - The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team traveled to Cal State - San Marcos for the final game of the 2015 season on Saturday, Nov. 7. The Cougars came out on top in the match, winning 2-0. The Eagles end the season with a 2-12 record while the Cougars finish at 7-8-2 on the year.

The Eagles took the first shot of the game in the ninth minute as Daniel Gylfason fed the ball to Daniel McClintock up left side. He then crossed it into the box to a waiting Felix Lohmeyer, who headed it towards net but the chance sailed just wide.

The Eagles had another opportunity on a cross in the 17th minute. Viktor Hafsteinsson crossed it towards net, however it was cleared by the Cougar defense directly to Jason Van Achteren at the top of the box. Van Achteren side stepped several defenders and ripped the shot from range, hitting the crossbar square on.

Another close chance for ERAU came as Joao Belmonte took a free kick from the top of the 18-yard box in the 25th minute. The shot flew into the box and forced the goalkeeper, Zach Sheppard, to make a high save as he punched the ball back into play.

Despite the Eagles several close calls, it was CSUSM that got on the board first. In the 38th minute, Oscar Gonzalez slotted a shot past Jeff Bone as he was coming off his line.

Down by a goal to start the second half, the Eagles had a chance in the 59th minute. Eric LaVerne passed the ball off to Gylfason, who took it streaking down the side. Gylfason outpaced his defenders to cross the ball into the box towards Belmonte. Belmonte just missed getting his head on the end of what would have been the equalizer.

Instead the Cougars increased their lead in the 71st minute. CSUSM struck again as Dustin Scibilla finished on a cross from Eddie Guerra to put the home side up, 2-0.

The Eagles had several opportunities with the ball forward towards the end of the game but were unable to get off a shot to land one in the back of net, falling to the Cougars 2-0.

This wraps up the season for Embry-Riddle. The Eagles will return to action in the fall of 2016.
