DAYTONA BEACH, FL – Embry-Riddle Men's Soccer (1-2) took to the pitch on Friday night for their first battle at home against Spring Hill College (0-1). The Eagles battled the elements with grace as they secured their first win of the season.

"It was great to finally play at home in front of our fans, who definitely helped create a great atmosphere for the players…Spring Hill made it difficult for us at times, but it's always great to get four goals in any match," said Head Coach David Gregson.
