THE BASICS
The Eagles took care of business on the road and won their third straight conference match with a 2-0 victory over Louisiana College Saturday night. The Eagles' defense has been stout during their four-game win streak. Tonight, the Eagles did not allow a single shot on goal to keep a clean sheet for starting goalkeeper Logan Valestin. It is Valestin's fourth shoutout of the season. The Eagles have recorded shutouts in each of those four matches and have only allowed a combined two goals in their last six matches. The Eagles fired off nine shots in the first half but couldn't connect as the score remained 0-0 at halftime. The Eagles attacked in the second half and took nine more shots. Alain Claude scored in the 61st minute and Daniel Lyon followed just seven minutes later to make it 2-0. From there, the Eagles kept the shutout intact. Both Claude and Lyon had four shots. The Eagles owned a 7-4 corner kicks advantage.
