The Emory University men's soccer team returned to action for the first time in 2025, showcasing a flair of the dramatics as a late-minute goal led the Eagles to a 1-0 win over No. 4 ranked Washington & Lee University Friday night in Atlanta.
With the score deadlocked at 0-0 through 86 minutes of action, Emory finally broke the scoreless bout with a fantastic corner kick opportunity. Senior captain Josh Grand sent a curling ball into the middle of the box where junior Logan Steren was there to head in the game-winner. The goal marked Steren's first career goal in an Emory kit.
The Eagles controlled possession for a majority of the contest, ending the game with a final tally of 19-10 in total shots including a 7-3 margin in shots on goal. Junior Julian Hee topped the Eagles with four shots in the game and matched Steren with a team-leading two SOGs.
After posting four clean sheets a season ago, the Eagles notched their first one of the season. Junior transfer Geoffrey Halpern notched three saves to earn his first career win between the posts.
