Eagles to Face Oglethorpe in Make-Up Game on Tuesday

Eagles to Face Oglethorpe in Make-Up Game on Tuesday

Emory University will make the trip across town to Oglethorpe University for the second time this season, as the Eagles and the Stormy Petrels will meet in a make-up of a game that was rained out earlier in the season.

The match will be started from the beginning of the contest, after the original game, which was started on September 16th, was halted with 30:52 left in the second half due to heavy rain and lightning.  At the time, the Eagles' led 4-0, off a pair of goals from each of Melanie Levy and Merrill Bachouros.  However, none of the goals or the result from the original match counted towards Emory's season record or statistics.

Emory will enter the contest with a record of 5-5-5 on the season, following a 2-1 win over Case Western Reserve University on Sunday.  Emory is 4-4-1 in matches away from the Woodruff P.E. Center this season, and 3-4-0 in true road matches. 

Oglethorpe currently stands at 5-10-0 on the season, with a 2-6-0 record at home.  Emory defeated Oglethorpe 4-0 in their 2008 meeting, and juniors Melanie Levy and Lauren Smith each have a career goal against the Stormy Petrels.

Emory Notes:
Emory freshman Lee Bachouros was named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Defensive Athlete of the Week for women's soccer, based on her performance during the Eagles' two conference games last week... Emory's Talia Dweck is one assist shy of breaking the program's single season record... Freshman goalkeeper Erica Stein has started each of the last two games for Emory, allowing two goals and going 1-1-0... Emory defense has allowed just 12 shots over its last two games, only four of which have been on goal.
