#24 Emory Dominant in 3-0 Win over #14 Ohio Northern

From Emory University Athletics

Sophomore Jason Andrejchak and freshmen Austin Mirabella and Jason McCartney each registered goals, and the Eagles' defense recorded its first shutout of the campaign, as the 24th-ranked Eagles opened play at the Berry College Invitational in Rome, Georgia on Saturday afternoon with a 3-0 upset win over 14th-ranked Ohio Northern University.

The win was the second-straight for the Eagles, who improved to 2-0-1 overall for the 2014 campaign. 

Andrejchak got the Eagles on the board in the 16th-minute of play, heading in his first goal of the season off a pass from senior forward Dylan Price.  It was the second assist of the campaign for Price.

Mirabella added an insurance goal late in the first half, notching his first collegiate score off a deflection in the 37th minute of action.  Early in the second frame, McCartney capped off the Eagles' scoring, collecting a loose ball of a corner kick and converting it for his first collegiate goal.

Emory outshot Ohio Northern 15-9 in the game, including a 7-4 edge in shots on goal.  Junior goalkeeper Abe Hannigan made four saves during the contest, en route to picking up his 10th career shutout, tying him for the eighth-most in the program's history.

The loss was the first of the season for the Polar Bears, who dropped to 2-1-0.  It marked the first time that Ohio Northern lost a game by three or more goals since falling to Messiah in the 2012 National Championship game by a 5-1 score.
