Emory University freshman Kyle O'Brien scored a goal and an assist, and freshman Charlie Donahue's first-collegiate goal proved to be the game winner, and as the Eagles defeated Oglethorpe University 3-1 on Wednesday afternoon.

With the match tied 1-1 late, O'Brien crossed a ball over the middle toward Donahue, who was able to head it in for the game-winning score.  The goal in the 81^st minute was the first of Donahue's young career, while the assist was O'Brien's third of the campaign.

O'Brien notched his third goal of the season in the 20^th minute off an assist from sophomore Zach Samuels to give Emory an early 1-0 lead.  However, after battling throughout the rest of the first half and most of the second half, the Stormy Petrels were able to even the match with a 71^st-minute goal off a direct kick.  Donahue's goal 10 minutes later would give the Eagles the lead for good.

Emory would add on another goal late, as Samuels assisted on his second score of the day, this time knocked in by sophomore Bryan Fedner.  The goal, coming in the 88^th-minute was the first of the season for Fedner.

Sophomore Trenton Spindler earned the win in goal, making one save and allowing one goal during the contest.  He improved to 8-2-0 on the season with a 0.77 goals against average.

The win was Emory's seventh in as many contests away from home this season, as the team improved to 8-2-0 overall.  Oglethorpe dropped to 4-5-1 with the loss.

Emory will return to University Athletic Association (UAA) play on Saturday, as the Eagles will travel to the University of Chicago for a 12:00 PM EST matchup.
