Emory University picked up its first win in University Athletic Association (UAA) play this season, as the Eagles defeated Brandeis University 3-0 on Sunday.

The Eagles defense recorded its second-straight shutout and fifth overall this season, holding Brandeis to 11 shots, only three of which were on goal.  Sophomore goalkeeper Trenton Spindler recorded his fourth individual shutout of the year, making three saves during the contest, all in the first half.

Emory's Zach Samuels scored in the 34^th minute of play, after stealing the ball at midfield and streaking down the far sideline.  The sophomore was able to get past a pair of defenders and put the ball into the back corner of the net for his third goal of the season.

The Eagles would add on another goal in the waning seconds of the first half, as Michael Scannapieco scored his second goal of the year off a pass from Nico Dalton.  Co-captain Jake Graetz would cap off the Emory scoring with his team-high sixth goal of the season on a penalty kick in the 54^th minute.  The kick was set up by a foul on a breakaway for Samuels.

The Eagles improved to 9-3-1 on the season with the win, including 1-2-1 in UAA play.  Brandeis dropped to 4-8-1 on the year, including 1-3-0 in UAA matches.

Emory will return to action next Friday, as the Eagles will play at Maryville College (Tenn.) at 6:00 PM.
