DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team proved to be too much for Embry-Riddle on Tuesday. Ranked sixth in the NAIA, the Blue Raiders got four goals from Annika Koemm en route to a 5-0 win over the Eagles, improving their overall record to 7-3, while the Eagles fall to 5-3-1.
 
The Eagles had chances to get on the scoreboard early in the contest with perhaps their best chance coming in the 11^th minute. After Andrea Froshaug was brought down inside the penalty area, Guro Naess Berge took the resulting penalty kick but LWC goalkeeper Johanna Henriksson, who committed the foul, made up for her miscue by coming up with a save to keep the Eagles off the board.
 
The Blue and Gold continued to threaten and had five shots in the first period compared to seven by the Blue Raiders.
 
Despite the chances, the Eagles found themselves in a 3-0 hole at the end of the first 45 minutes of play. The Blue Raiders got a pair of goals from Koemm in a two-minute span and another from Ivana Damnjanovic in the 36^th minute to give the visitors a three-goal advantage at the intermission.
 
Koemm wasted little time in completing her hat trick in the second half, scoring her third goal less than two minutes into the period.
 
While the Eagles outshot LWC 6-3 in the second half, it was the Blue Raiders who were more dangerous in the final third of the field, and Koemm sealed the victory with her final goal at the 74:40 mark.
 
"Drew [Burwash], once again, showed he has the Midas touch late in the season," ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon commented. "Man, did they put on a finishing clinic tonight with five goals on 10 shots. Annika had a special night and we just couldn't contain her. I think if we had finished our penalty kick chance in the first half, the game might have had a different feel. It's strange to outshoot a team, create some good chances, and still walk away with such a lopsided loss. But, I don't want to take anything away from them.  They were connected and had a great performance. We are going to keep pushing forward and are anxious to watch some film and get back to training."
 
The Eagles' next game will be at 6 p.m. on Saturday when they host Saint Leo at the ERAU Soccer Stadium.
