ST. DAVIDS, Pa.--Eastern University Men's Soccer increased its win streak to four games by defeating Penn State-Brandywine 5-0 Tuesday afternoon.

In that four-game win streak, the Eagles have outscored opponents 18-2.

Coach Mark Wagner is happy with the team's momentum as they prepare for homecoming on Saturday against DeSales University. “Our backline played well,” Wagner said. “We limited their opportunities. We moved the ball well and did a good job getting behind them and finishing opportunites.”

The Eagles broke onto the scoreboard in the 10th minute on an own goal when a cross by Brandon Reichart to Dan Shields bounced off a Brandywine defender in front of the goal. Just 23 seconds later, the Eagles scored again after Mitch Osterhouse received a pass from Pablo Villeda. Osterhouse fired a shot from the center of the 18 and into the goal.

PSU-Brandywine responded with a near scoring opportunity of its own in the 27th minute when Jim Kallarakal took a breakaway shot. However, Jon Crowder dove to his right and knocked the ball away.

Eastern's Brandon Beaumont scored the Eagles' third goal in the 36th minute from thirty yards out that hooked into the upper 90, right corner. James Le followed that long-range strike with one of his own, but his 30-yard shot was caught by goalie Nick Previti.

The Eagles scored again in the 54th minute as Brandon Reichart connected with Dan Shields in front of the net.

The Eagles capped off the scoring in the 78th minute when Jair Saenz kicked the ball off a restart to Brandon Reichart right in front of the goal. Reichart tapped the ball in. Reichart now has five goals and two assists on the season.

All Eastern's healthy players saw time in the match.

Eastern prepares for homecoming on Saturday against DeSales at 3 pm.
