The Emory University Women's Soccer team, ranked eighth in Division III, matched its longest streak of the season with its fifth-consecutive win on Friday night, defeating the University of Rochester 2-0 in Rochester, New York.

The win was Emory's 10^th in its last 11 contests, sending the squad's record to 12-3-1 overall, and to 4-1-0 in University Athletic Association (UAA) matches.  Rochester dropped to 0-3-2 in UAA games and to 5-6-4 overall with the loss.

The first half of action was a defensive deadlock with neither team registering many opportunities to put the ball into the back of the net during the scoreless frame.  Emory ended the first 45 minutes with a 5-1 advantage in shots and a 2-0 edge in shots on goal.

Emory would break the tie early in the second half, as sophomore Jordan Morell struck for her third goal in the last two games, and fifth overall this season.  In the 50^th minute, Morell took possession inside the box on the far side of the field, and sent a shot across the face of the goal, past the keeper, and into the near corner of the net for the score.  The midfielder has now registered 12 points this season, the second-most by an Eagle.

Morell's goal would prove to be the game winner, the first of the sophomore's career.

Junior Charlotte Butker would add to the Eagles' lead in the 58^th minute, blasting a shot from 25-yards out off the bottom of the crossbar and into the goal.  It was the forward's third goal of the campaign.

With the two second half goals, Emory has now outscored UAA opponents 7-0 in the second half of games this season, and 9-2 overall in conference contests.

Emory's defense was strong again, limiting the Yellowjackets to just two shots in the game, only one of which was on goal.  Sophomore Liz Arnold recorded the shutout in goal, her fourth individual shutout of the campaign and the team's eighth overall.  Arnold made one save during the day, and improved to 11-2-1 overall this season.

With the win, Emory remained in second-place in the UAA standings, three points behind Washington University (Mo.) with two games left to play.  Washington can clinch at least a share of the UAA Title and the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament with a win at New York University on Sunday afternoon.

Emory will wrap-up its regular season road schedule on Sunday, November 3^rd at 1:30 PM against Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
