Sailfish Earn Road Conference Win Over Eagles

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer team picked up its sixth-straight win tonight as the Sailfish took down the Embry-Riddle Eagles. The No. 5 ranked 'Fish scored one goal in each half to earn the 2-0 win and improve the PBA record to 10-1 on the year and 6-1 in Sunshine State Conference play. With the win, head coach Brian McMahon earns a historic 100th career win at PBA and takes his record to an impressive 100-21-11. McMahon now has 376 win in his coaching career. 

It didn't take long for the Sailfish to strike tonight against the Eagles. The highest-scoring side in the SSC broke through in the third minute when defender Charlie Lewis took a strike from deep. Andres Flores switched the play over to Lewis, who popped the ball up with his first touch and swung his right foot through it from 30 yards out. Lewis beat the Eagles keeper with an unstoppable strike for his second goal of the season and put PBA up 1-0 early.

The Sailfish looked in control throughout the game tonight as they outshot Embry-Riddle 5-2 in the opening half. PBA goalie Albert Escuin was called up to make two saves in the first half to keep the clean as PBA led 1-0 at the half.

After they scored early in the first half, they did the same in the second to put the game away. Just five minutes into the second half, Nicholas Oberrauch beat his man down the left flank. He got to the touchline in the box and played a cutback ball that found Flores in the middle of the box. The Sailfish midfielder was able to beat the keeper for his first goal of the season and double the Sailfish lead. 

The Sailfish outclassed the Eagles in the second half and had all the control of the possession and created all of the chances. PBA outshot Embry-Riddle 9-0 in the second half and 14-2 for the match. The 'Fish have been rolling ever since their lone defeat to Saint Leo in late September. They have outscored their opponents 18-3 during their current six-game winning streak that saw them defeat three ranked opponents. 

The Sailfish continue to sit three points behind the Tampa Spartans in the SSC standings, but the Sailfish have a game in hand and defeated the Spartans head-to-head. Up next, the Sailfish travel to face Eckerd College on Oct. 23. The Tritons currently sit at the bottom of the SSC standings and carry a 2-10-1 record on the season.
