OLATHE, Kan. - No. 19 Embry-Riddle extended its current winning streak to eight games thanks to a 1-0 second-round win over No. 3 Mobile (Ala.) this afternoon at the NAIA National Championship. Junior forward Joe Yoffe came up with his 10th goal of the year, on a penalty kick in the 61st minute, to send the Eagles to the Quarterfinal round on Nov. 17.
Junior midfielder AJ Barrett extended the ERU lead to 2-0 in the 87th minute with an assist credited to Sam Litchfield.
Defense was a theme throughout as there were a combined seven shots on goal. Netminder Ian Levine notched the shutout for Embry-Riddle halting three shots on goal.
Embry-Riddle will now face the winner of No. 6 Concordia (Calif.) and No. 11 Graceland (Iowa) at 2:15 p.m. on Saturday. Mobile, who gets shut-out for just the second time all year, concludes its season at 14-5-1.
