HOW IT HAPPENED:
The Eagles came out flying out shooting their opponents 22 - 9 in the game. They got on the board in the 25th minute, capitalizing on a hustle play from Sophomore midfielder Tiago Cuero. Cuero outraced everyone from his wide midfield position to tap in a loose ball to put the home side out in front. Although it looked like the Eagles would take off from there they went into the break holding on to the 1-0 lead.
