Samuels' Career Day Guides Emory to 3-2 Win over Maryville

Samuels' Career Day Guides Emory to 3-2 Win over Maryville

Emory University sophomore Zach Samuels scored two goals, including the game-winner, and assisted on another, leading the Eagles to a 3-2 win at Maryville College on Friday night.

Samuels' performance helped the Eagles win their second-straight contest, improving to 10-3-1 overall on the season.  In the process, Emory handed Maryville just its second loss of the season, as the Scots dropped to 9-2-3 on the year.

After falling behind 1-0 late in the first half, Samuels assisted on Jake Graetz's team-leading seventh goal of the season in the 52nd minute of play to even the match.

Less than five minutes later, Samuels would put the Eagles on top with an unassisted goal.  After the Scots struck back to tie the match in the 62nd minute, Samuels would score unassisted again in the 77th minute, giving the Eagles the lead for good.

Samuels now has five goals and four assists this season, matching Graetz for a team-best 14 points this year.  In his last five games, the sophomore has scored three goals and three assists, including three goals and one assist in his last two outings.
