The Emory University Men's Soccer Team saw its six-match undefeated streak come to an end on Wednesday night, when the Eagles suffered a 2-1 defeat at Covenant College.

Joel Friesen scored both goals for Covenant in the first half, striking off a Matt Hudnut assist in the 21^st minute, and adding an insurance goal in the 29^th minute to extend the lead to 2-0.

Forty-seven seconds later, Emory had a chance to even the score, but a shot from junior co-captain Dylan Price hit off the crossbar and deflected away from goal.  Emory took five more shots before the end of the game, including a pair on goal, but could not come away with the equalizer.

The Eagles ended the game with a 24-14 edge in total shots, including a 9-6 advantage in shots on goal.  Price led all players in the game with eight shots, including one on goal.
