Men's Soccer Closes out the Season With a Narrow Loss to Nova Southeastern

Embry-Riddle falls 1-0 to Nova Southeastern to end the 2025 season

DAYTONA BEACH, FL – It was a bittersweet night at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium as the Eagles recognized seven graduating seniors, including their team captain Andy Paterson. The Eagles battled hard on the pitch, but Nova Southeastern was able to prevail with a late goal to take a 1-0 win.

  • The Eagles are 1-8-1 in the last 10 matches against the Sharks

HOW IT HAPPENED
