WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The Palm Beach Atlantic University men's soccer team returned home Wednesday night and defeated Flagler College by a score of 3-1. The No. 14 ranked Sailfish stay undefeated at home and move to 5-0-1 on the season overall.

PBA was comfortable defensively in the first 45 minutes. Keeper Elliott Barker made two saves in the first half to keep to score at 1-0 in favor of the Sailfish going into the half.

The 'Fish came out strong in the second half, like they have all season, and Marc Hebbeker capitalized on a defensive error from Flagler in the 46th minute and put the ball into an empty net to go up 2-0. PBA continued to dominate the ball and create chances in the attacking third when in the 63rd minute Gian Scalise found Claudio Rivadeneira on a through ball who put it home to go up 3-0. The Saints pulled one goal back in the 63rd minute when Eden Shachar's free kick went through the PBA wall to make it a 3-1 PBA lead.

The Sailfish outshot the Saints 17-4 and had 70% of the possession in the contest. Up next for the Sailfish is a road Sunshine State Conference test on Sept. 28 when they play Saint Leo University at 7 p.m. The Lions are 3-4 on the season and 0-1 in the SSC following their loss to Embry-Riddle.
