HARRISONBURG, Va.  –  After getting two draws on the road, the EMU Men's Soccer team returned to the friendly confines of the EMU Turf Field on Wednesday to face off with Shenandoah. The Royals sought revenge for last year's ODAC Tournament Quarterfinal defeat at the hands of the Hornets. Instead, it was a painful case of déjà vu as EMU fell 4-0, the same final score as that ODAC Quarterfinal in Winchester.  

Records: EMU 5-5-7, 1-3-4 ODAC | Shenandoah 10-5-2, 5-2-1

Highlights

• The Royals and the Hornets played a tight first half, with just three shots on goal combined between the two sides in the first 45 minutes.
• 48' | Shenandoah broke the stalemate as Niclas Vavra shot the ball in from the left side of the box to put the Hornets up 1-0.
• From there, the floodgates opened as the Hornets scored three more goals over the next 20 minutes to put the match out of the Royals' reach.
• Andrew Arledge made five saves in net for the Royals.
