Eagles to Wrap-Up 2009 Campaign at Home against Carnegie Mellon and Sewanee
Posted: Nov 05, 2009

The Emory University women's soccer team will look to end its season on a positive note, as the Eagles will host Carnegie Mellon University on Saturday and the University of the South on Sunday.

Saturday's match against the Tartans is slated for a 1:30 PM start, while Sunday's contest with the Tigers will begin at 12:30 PM.  The Eagles will also hold their annual ‘Senior Day' ceremonies on Sunday, where graduating seniors Talia Dweck and Olivia Lezanski will be honored.  Both matches will have live stats and webcasts.

Emory will enter the contest on a two-game winning streak, bringing their record to 6-5-5 on the season and to 1-3-2 in conference play.  The Eagles are currently in sixth place in the University Athletic Association (UAA).  Emory is 1-1-4 at home this season.

Carnegie Mellon holds a 6-7-2 overall record during the campaign, and is currently tied with Emory for sixth in the UAA with a 1-3-2 conference record.  The Tartans, who have lost two-straight matches, are 2-6-0 away from home this season.

Emory is 14-3-0 all time against Carnegie Mellon, including a 1-0 double-overtime win last season in Pittsburgh, PA. 

The University of the South will begin the weekend with a record 10-2-3 record and ranked seventh in the South Atlantic Region.  The Tigers are 6-0-1 away from home this season. 

Emory is 18-2-2 all time against Sewanee, including a 2-1 loss on the road last season.  Junior Lauren Smith has a career goal against the Tigers, and Dweck and junior Melanie Levy each have career assists.

Emory Notes:
The Eagles are coming off a 1-0 win on Tuesday against Oglethorpe... Emory scored the only goal of the game on an own goal by Oglethorpe... Emory's defense has allowed just 17 shots to opponents in its last three games, and just four shots on goal during that stretch... The Eagles have held their opponents to under 10 shots in a game eight times this season... Emory senior Talia Dweck is one assist shy of the school record for assists in a season, and is currently tied for ninth in the program's history with 20 career assists.
