DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Embry-Riddle (9-2-4, 5-1-3) played Lynn (4-3-6, 3-3-3) to a 1-1 draw Saturday at Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium.
It was senior night for the Eagles and following the conclusion of the game there was a moment dedicated to honor the 2026 senior class of
Marcos da Silva,
Rimon Beyene,
Louis Dolcini,
Lorenzo Rodofili, and
Colin Bailey. Five players who have each made significant contributions to the program in their careers and in this season. A season which has already been the most accomplished in ERAU's history since making the jump to the Division II level of play.
A game that was affected by off and on rain saw what was mainly a defensive battle in the midfield throughout the game. The Fighting Knights found their only goal of the night from their leading scorer Robin Muenst in the 24th minute off of a pass from Rui Ferreira. It was not until the 86th minute where the Eagles responded with a goal from
Jonas Banouas as he headed in a cross from
Louis Dolcini. Lynn had a 13-7 shot advantage and both sides put three total shots on goal as the game ended in a 1-1 result.
