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.
