The Emory University women's soccer team turned in another strong defensive performance on Sunday, leading to a 2-1 Eagles' win over Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH.

The Emory backline allowed just six shots to the Spartans, three in each half.  Out of the six shots, only one was on goal.

Offensively, Emory got a pair of timely performances from players coming off the bench.  After the Eagles fell behind 1-0 in the 14^th minute, freshman Hailey Morris came off the bench to even the match in the 32^nd minute.  Morris scored from two yards out, after a header from junior Lauren Smith found her feet.  It was the second goal of the season for Morris, and Smith's first assist.

It would not take the Eagles long into the second half to take the lead for good, as Smith scored her first goal of the campaign, heading in a Talia Dweck free kick from 40 yards out.

The assist was the team-best 10^th of the season for Dweck, who is now one shy of matching the Emory single-season assist record with three games left to play.

The Emory defense would preserve the lead, allowing just three shots, none on goal, the rest of the match.

The win gives the Eagles their first UAA victory of the season, as the squad improved to 1-3-2 in UAA contests, and to 5-5-5 overall.  The victory also put an end to Emory's six-match winless streak. Case fell to 9-6-2 overall, and to 3-3-0 in the conference.

Emory will return to action on Tuesday, as the Eagles will travel to Oglethorpe University for a make-up of a rain out at 3:00 PM.
