Box Score PRESCOTT, ARIZ. – The Embry-Riddle men's soccer team used a few potential momentum-changing moments to turn what could have been a close game on the scoreboard into a 5-0 win over Park-Gilbert on Thursday night.

Embry-Riddle did not wait to get on the board on Thursday, scoring just 2:06 into the match. David Ramos, who's father made a surprise arrival from Spain earlier in the day, scored his first goal of the season to get the Eagles off and running.
The Eagles would strike again in the 20th minute, as Alex Frances scored his sixth of the season to extend the lead. Defender Heeirthan Shanthan picked up the assist on that tally, his first point of the year.
