HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Embry-Riddle women's lacrosse team improved to 2-0 in its inaugural season after defeating the Coker Cobras (0-1) 20-10 in the first-ever road game in program history. The Eagles scored four straight goals to gain a comfortable advantage in the first half and pulled away late thanks to a six-goal spurt in the second half.
 
Mya Watson got the Eagles on the board first with her sixth goal of the season less than five minutes into the game. Coker tied it just seven seconds later, and each team scored again in the next 48 seconds to make it 2-2. After the Cobras took a brief 3-2 lead, ERAU rattled off four goals in a row from four different scorers, taking a 6-3 lead. McKenzie Jackson and Watson each tallied their second goals of the half to push the lead to 8-4, and a late goal from Jackson made it 11-5 Eagles as the teams headed to the locker room for halftime.
 
Jackson scored twice in the first six minutes of the second half, helping grow the lead to 14-7. Watson netted her fourth goal of the game with 20:57 on the clock, sparking a 6-0 run for the Blue and Gold that put the game out of reach at 20-8. While the Eagles didn't add any more goals over the final 13:26 of the contest, the defense held Coker to just two goals over that closing stretch, accounting for the 20-10 final score.
 
Watson and Jackson each tallied six goals, while Watson added three assists and Jackson picked up a game-high 16 draw controls. Gillian Greenberg chipped in four goals and Kendall Leonard scored three goals and added a pair of ground balls.
 
The Eagles are back in action on Sunday, Feb. 18 when they travel to Newberry for a 2 p.m. game.
