The Emory University men's soccer team extended its winning streak to five games, edging Guilford College 2-1 in Greensboro, NC.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead in the match, as sophomore Zach Samuels scored his first goal of the season off the second assist of the year for freshman Kyle O'Brien.  The goal came in just the fifth-minute of the contest.

After the Quakers tied the match with a 62^nd-minute goal, it would take just five minutes for the Eagles to take the lead once again, and this time, for good.  Samuels would return the favor, assisting on O'Brien's eventual game-winning goal in the 67^th-minute of play. 

O'Brien's goal was his second of the season, and his first game winner of the campaign.

Goalkeeper Trenton Spindler played the entirety of the game in goal, turning away two of Guilford's three shots on goal during the match.  He improved to 5-1-0 with a 0.76 goals against average this season.

The Eagles improved to 5-1-0 this season with the victory, while Guilford dropped to 5-3-1 with the loss.  The Eagles have reeled off five-straight wins, including three-consecutive victories on the road.

Emory will return to action on Wednesday, as the Eagles will wrap up their five-game road trip against in-state rival Piedmont College.
