Eagles Defeat University of St. Mary 1-0 for Second Straight Victory

Kansas City, MO - Dan Myers scored the lone goal of the match as the Avila Eagles defeated the University of St. Mary Spires 1-0 in a non-conference matchup Tuesday evening (Sept. 15) at Swope Park.

The Eagles controlled the match and outshot the Spires by a 31-7 margin with 22 of those coming in the second half. Roberto Camacho led the Eagles with 9 shots while Ben Dlugolecki and Paul Hildbrand had 5 and 4 shots respectively.

Ray Dlugolecki made 2 saves while picking up his first shutout of the season.

Coach Clements thought the kids gave a good effort and were a bit unlucky, "The boys played a decent first half and played a great second half. We gave ourselves plenty of chances with 15 shots on goal and could only put one in. Give their Keeper a lot of credit but we need to finish our chances. Overall, I am happy with our progress and very proud of our defense for the shutout."

The Eagles (2-4) will look to continue their win streak this Saturday, September 19th with a matchup against William Woods of Fulton, MO. The match is set for a 7 P.M. kickoff at Swope Park in Kansas City.
