THE BASICS
Drew Mott enjoyed netting the game-winning goal in the 69th minute to push the Eagles past Williams Baptist University Saturday under hot conditions at Hurie Soccer Field. Mott took a perfect ball from Gaetan Jean Louis and buried it in the back of the net from ten yards out. The Eagles took over the final 20 minutes of the match following Mott's goal. Mott and his teammates recorded the shutout behind a stout defensive effort. Goalkeeper Logan Valestin made the save of the game with about 15 minutes remaining off a free kick that appeared to be headed in goal. The veteran Valestin played it perfectly and kept the ball out of the net to put an exclamation mark on the shutout. Valestin ended with five saves. After a 0-0 halftime score, the Eagles took momentum of the second half and totaled eight shot and five corner kicks.
