DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team suffered a 6-2 loss to Barry on Saturday. The Buccaneers bring their record to 5-0, while the Eagles fall to 1-3-1 on the season.
 
The Blue and Gold started the game strong, grabbing hold of the lead in the 14^th minute, when Daniel Gylfason got on the end of a corner kick by Joao Belmonte, dribbled across the box and rifled the ball past Barry goalkeeper Michael Scheraldi.
 
Barry came back strong looking for the equalizer.  The Buccaneers had a scoring opportunity but an offside call ruled their shot no good.
 
The Buccaneers' work paid off in the 31^st minute when Barry's Thomas Coombes got by an Eagle defender, opening himself up for a shot that snuck past ERAU goalkeeper, Richard Dearle to tie the game.
 
The Buccaneers did not stop there, and took over the lead in the 41^st minute after they got a head on a free kick and  knocked the ball into the net.
 
In the 42^nd minute, Dearle came out of the box in an attempt to play the ball out of danger. He collided with Mitchell Smith, who got just enough on the ball to send it into the open net vacated by Dearle to extend the Barry lead to 3-1 the first half.
 
The Eagles came out strong after the break, scoring the first goal of the second half. Gylfason drove the ball up the left side and passed into a slew of Buccaneer players. Moriba Ballah captured the pass and fought off defenders and opened himself up to take the shot, cutting Barry's lead to one.
 
That was as close as the Eagles would get as goals by Sergio Yepes in the 69th and 78th minutes, and another score by Coombes in the 64th minute sealed the 6-2, Barry win.

The Eagles will hit the field again on Wednesday, Sept. 21 against the Nova Southeastern Sharks. This game will take place at the ERAU Soccer Stadium Soccer  at 7 p.m.
