Avion Design Changes
You can feel it in the air; and no, it’s not the dust from all this construction. There’s an excitement that always accompanies the start of a fall semester. It’s a mix of new students, new developments on campus, and natural energy that has yet to be suppressed by sleepless nights, midterms, and final projects. We can feel it, and if you take a few moments to look around, you’ll notice it too. You’ve probably already seen the Class of 2017, which arrived in full force at Orientation checkin on August 21st. They’ve brought more spirit and enthusiasm than we’ve ever seen (even Coach Ridder said so) and it’s rubbing off on returning students and even the O-Team (is that even possible?). We highly encourage all returning students to get to know the new class of Embry-Riddle. They’re happy to be here and ready to network with the student body. Hopefully you’ve noticed some new additions to our campus, such as Aerospace Boulevard, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the HUB. Aerospace Boulevard is now finished, so feel free to utilize that entrance onto campus. The College of Arts and Sciences should be ready to move in and host classes by the spring semester. The HUB (or Human

Utility Business Model) is an exciting resource available to all students to prepare young professionals to work in a global industry. You can simulate being in other cultures and partake in discussions about working in a cross cultural environment. This department is worth checking out, regardless of what culture you come from. If you’re alive and breathing, then you’ve probably been involved in discussions about the new Student
Union. The new Union will start breaking ground after the College of Arts and Sciences is completed this spring. It’s true that the new Union will stand where our Hunt Library stands right now. The location of the new library is still undecided. Possibilities include inside the new Union as well as building a new structure elsewhere on campus. If you have an opinion on what should go inside the new Student Union, you’ll have the opportunity to

less hours were spent over the summer designing new objects, themes, and styles. You will notice an immediate visual change in the layout of the newspaper this semester. All the previous objects
voice those suggestions in a campus-wide survey that will go out to all students this fall. Be on the lookout for this email since it’s your chance to help build the biggest building on campus! Even though school has only been in session for a week, you’ve seen your Student Government Association in action all across campus. Some of our big projects include filling in the “swamp,” partnering with the University’s Diver-

In addition to design element changes, the Avion has expanded content coverage by reintroducing the Industry & Technology section, a section dedicated solely to aerospace and aviation topics. Be sure to keep reading the paper throughout the semester to keep up with future changes! We look forward to hearing your feedback about the changes and we will be featuring Student Forums in the coming issues with student feedback. Further than just paper-re-

You never know what you may find. We are more than just coffee and candy, and we’re always happy to see you. This semester you’ll notice some changes to our operations, including replacing yellow umbrellas with disposable ponchos, streamlining the organization funding process through ERAU Connection, and partnering with Campus Safety to provide “Riddle Ride,” a late-night, on-campus transportation aide expecting to start in mid-October. These modifications were all inspired by student suggestions, so if you see something needs an adjustment, let us know! We’re here for you. The more you tell us, the better we can serve you! We’re glad you’re a part of EAGLE NATION, whether you’re a first-year student still finding a major or a returning who can’t wait to graduate. This campus is an incredible place to live, work, and study. The resources offered on our campus are invaluable. Take advantage of every opportunity Embry-Riddle offers. No one is here by coincidence, so let’s work together to make this year the best one yet!
than happy to teach you all of the skills necessary to write, shoot, or lay out pages. Becoming a member of the paper comes with many benefits, including connections with important people on campus and in the industry, opporunities to attend national journalism conferences (all expenses paid), and the ability to showcase your work to the entire student body.

Wes Lewis Assistant Director of Media and Marketing Here at Embry-Riddle there is a host of organizations. There are over 150 student organizations that represent any interest imaginable from professional organizations, robotics, flying, horseback riding, cars, video games, sports, dancing, and more. Consequently, trying to figure out which one is right for you
can be a daunting task. Thus, the Department of Student Activities and Campus Events hosts the Activities Fair as semesterly event to highlight all the different opportunities to get involved on campus. You will be able to talk with current students about organizations and get info on how you can join. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to sign up and get information about meeting times, projects, and how to
become an active member. The Activities Fair brings the center of campus alive for a day on Legacy Walk and the West Lawn with different activities from robots, sail boats, air planes, ambulances, motorcycles & much more. Typically, there have been a few random dance sessions as the day progresses or other acts of showmanship. Furthermore, if you stop by the Student Activities table you have a
chance to win some Bonus Bucks and meet our staff. We encourage all to stop by between 9 am and 2 pm to see what perks your interest and passion. There are endless opportunities to expand your horizons, but it takes your time and energy to experience them. The Activities Fair will be taking place on Tuesday September 10th. Check out connection. erau.edu for more information on a club you want to join!

FYI Has Arrived Andre Prescott SGA Director of External Affairs
The time has finally come! After much anticipation, SGA’s First-Year Initiative Program is making history by having its first meeting today at 7:00 PM in the College of Aviation room 139, but if you can’t attend our first meeting, don’t stress – there will be plenty more opportunities to get involved with FYI throughout the semester. FYI is a new program that has started this semester, dedicated to serve as a liaison between first-year students and the SGA, increase first-year involvement on campus, and inform and empower first-
year students to become effective student leaders. With this program, the SGA wants first-year students to take the initiative, by providing them with information, resources and guidance. But you’re not alone! FYI is a mentorship program that involves SGA Officials; mentors will be a point of contact to new students about academics, SGA events and other organizations on campus. Of course, with any organization comes some kind of time commitment, and the time you spend with FYI will be primarily focused on promoting academics above all and keeping objectives focused on action, not talk.
Throughout Orientation, you’ve more than likely been told to “get involved.” FYI is your opportunity to get involved. To all of you who are new to Eagle Nation, don’t take this semester for granted. You now have the opportunity of making a difference from the beginning of your college career. Whether you are coming straight out of high school, a veteran with years of experience, a transfer student with half of a degree completed, or any variation of new student there is, you can make a difference. Once again, we’re excited to see you today at our first meeting, and should you have any questions, please contact the founder of FYI, Denean Kelson at kelsond@my.erau.edu.
The SGA Wants You
Student Representative Board Vacancies Jovita Pinto International Student Representative Do you have what it takes to make a difference? Do you have the ability, passion and motivation to enhance student life on campus? If your answer is yes, becoming part of the Student Government Association Representative Board (SRB) is the job for you. As a member of the SGA, you can become the liaison between the students and administration providing essential services to fortify cam-
pus lifestyle. You can also become part of or spearhead different committees within the SGA. A position in the SRB gives you the opportunity to address your concerns regarding student affairs and conduct events and forums to educate and inform the student body. An SRB representative can also participate in Touch-N-Go Productions, The Avion and WIKD and build connections that will last a
lifetime. So if you want to be on the leading edge and make a difference, pick up an application for the one of the following vacant college representative positions: COE, COAS & COB. The applications are available in the SGA Office and are due on September 12th before 5pm. We encourage you to attend our ‘Meet and Greet’ session on September 13th at 6 pm in the SGA Conference Room where you will have the opportunity to meet
various representatives and get to know the SRB better. A formal interview will take place on September 17th between 12:45 pm and 2 pm. in the IC Auditorium. If you have any further questions, please stop by the SGA office for more information.
Get to Know your SGA Denean Kelson College of Engineering Student Representative Junior, Aerospace Engineering I am from south Louisiana. If you do not know anything about Louisiana, just remember that we pride ourselves in southern hospitality. If you see me around, say hi! Being the youngest of six siblings, and the only girl, I have a very large family. I am a third year Aerospace Engineering major with a minor in Human Factors. I am also a member of the Honors Program, OBAP, NSBE, and during my freshman year, I was a member of Task Force One, which was the freshman SGA that allowed students to have a voice on campus and gain leadership experience; now I am the founder of the newly named First-Year Initiative, the first auxiliary of the SGA. At the end of my freshman year, I ran for and was elected to the Student Representative Board as a representative for the College of Engineering, now I am fulfilling my second term in the SGA. I joined the SGA because I wanted to increase involvement throughout campus and help students to find their niche. My hope is that by making small changes, the overall student life will improve. Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about SGA or the College of Engineering. I will be happy to help!

Is Crew for You? Guttormur Ingvason Crew Team What’s the fastest sport sitting down, going backwards? It’s ROWING and the Embry-Riddle Crew Team is looking for athletic individuals who know the values of teamwork, dedication, and perseverance. There are 8 reasons you should join in 2013: Fitness. Rowing is known as a “full body workout,” because of its wide range of muscle usage, as well as amazing cardiovascular conditioning. Crew is also low impact since proper rowing is based on a smooth motion that places minimal stress on your body. At the summer Olympics, several top trainers were asked, “Out of all the athletes in the Olympics, who is in the best overall physical condition?” It was definitive… the rowers of course. No experience necessary. Never heard of crew before? No problem. We will teach you everything you need to know, and help you gradually improve your physical conditioning. Cheap dues! For a self-sufficient campus club, we have very inexpen-
sive dues at only $100 per semester. Lots of equipment. We have our own facility at the Halifax River Boathouse, right next to Jackie Robinson Ballpark, which is about 3 miles from campus. We have a fleet of boats as well as rowing and weight machines. Lots of competition. We have a regular intercollegiate schedule and race against many schools such as UF, FIT, UCF, FSU, JU, Stetson, Rollins, and crews from every state in the southern region when we go to the annual Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Regatta (SIRA). We also compete against schools from around the country like University of Texas, Purdue, and Michigan. Make new friends. One of the best ways to make new friends on campus is to join a club. Because teamwork is such an important part of rowing, you will really bond with your fellow rowers. Crew is good for your résumé. Crew has long been recognized as a prestigious sport synonymous with elite discipline, persistence, dedication, and

above all, teamwork. Since rowers require all these traits, they are immediately recognized as superior candidates. Rowing is for everyone. Rowing is a co-ed sport (on many college teams the women’s squad is bigger than the men’s). We also have lightweight and heavyweight classifications.
Are you a great motivator and love competition? We also need coxswains, the person in the back of the boat that gives orders to the rest of the crew, and is a leader in boat strategy! It's a vital position on the team, not to mention a fun one. Whether it’s the speed, the Zen-like unison of motion, or the raw compe-
tition, everybody can find something they love about crew. So come out and give it a try! Interested in joining or want to find out more? Just send an e-mail to our club president: Chris Sendra, sendrac@my.erau.edu at any time. Also, an informational meeting will be held on campus during the
first week of September. There will be flyers posting with the time and location. Practice for the Fall semester is from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday. Have schedule conflicts? It’s ok, most people do and we can usually work with them. We hope to see you soon!

More and more of ERAU’s engineering students are learning about the benefits of traveling overseas for a semester abroad. Here are some facts about our academic semester abroad: You take classes in English. The classes you take count towards your degree program and does NOT prolong your time to graduation. You will get to work on group projects at your host university. You will learn about a different culture(s), work within multi-cultural groups, find out how another culture goes about problem solving, and much more. Your financial aid can be applied. You pay only
your tuition to ERAU and are registered for ERAU classes. You pay the host university only for dorms, some fees (if required), and food (if you take their meal plan). Many times, you can also opt to live off campus. Select from over 20 countries! Everyone travels! It will be the BEST semester of your university career! The great news for our engineering students, whether AE, ME, CE, EE, SE, etc) is that we can send them all over the world as members of The Global Engineering Educational Exchange (GE3) consortium of universities. These colleges are some of the top engineering schools abroad. If you are interested in spending a semester abroad for spring 2014 through GE3, we are accepting applications NOW through September 26th, 2013. To apply, fill out the Semes-
ter Outgoing Application found at: http://daytonabeach.erau.edu/degrees/ study-abroad/semester-yearlong/ index.

Pilatus believes that this versatile jet will make its home with small cargo companies, medevac, commuter and even governmental agencies. “With low maintenance costs and a cruise speed of 400+ knots, the PC-24 will fit right in with the competition.” Says Pat Epps, head of Epps Aviation and owner of Pilatus Center South. Pilatus did extensive research and even sought advice from large fleet operators across the globe of the sister model, the

For these dimensions, engineers not only needed to come up with an engine capable of handling its weight but also needed the durability of taking off and landing on un-paved surfaces all while being the most fuel-efficient it can be. Pilatus decided to use the FJ44-4A turbofans from Williams International. These turbofan engines hold a rating of 3,600 pounds of thrust, which can bring the PC-24 from takeoff to its ceiling of 45,000 feet in just less than 30 minutes. The turbofans provided will make the aircraft very quiet as well as be most efficient.

LOT Airlines/The Boeing Company Poland-based LOT Airlines has survived by offering short-haul, hub to hub routes. A tough European economy has challenged the airline to rethink their strategy.
Andy Lichtenstein News Editor The fragile state of the global economy has certainly taken its toll on European air travel. Poland-based LOT Airlines is one of the oldest carriers in the region. However, the ever-rising cost of fuel, combined with frustrating labor contract negotiations have led to a very limited diversity of semi-profitable routes. A member of Star Alli-
ance, LOT Airlines has a long history of depending upon government aid. In 1999, the Polish government sold its controlling stake in the airline to Swissair, only to reclaim that investment 10 years later, after Swissair went bankrupt. The Polish government currently owns 93% of LOT airlines. More recently, the struggling carrier requested $125 million USD in aid, after it reported a total loss of $45 million for 2011, and $126 million
for 2012. As of January 2013, the Polish cabinet agreed to that $125 million in aid, in exchange for the release of CEO Marcin Piróg, who has since been replaced by Zbigniew Mazur. Any bailout requires approval from the Polish cabinet, as well as the green light from the European Commission. The European Commission has yet to determine whether an additional $310 million will come to fruition.
LOT built their company by offering short hops around Europe. More recently, they are attempting to offer a greater selection of long-distance routes. As part of the potential bailout, the company plans to cut at least 800 jobs and will stop all service to Athens, Helsinki, Zurich, Cairo, Beirut, Barcelona, Berlin and Dusseldorf from Warsaw as early as fall of 2014, reducing the number of available flights by 25%. Additionally, the company will retire 15 of its Embraer regional aircraft, as well as lease out 2 of its newly purchased Boeing 787 aircraft. The airline
currently maintains a fleet of 6 Boeing 787 aircraft. All 6 come complete with a 3-class configuration. The European Commission stated they would have an answer by April 2013, yet no official answer has been determined, as the European Union is still in talks with the Polish government, LOT Airlines, and private investors. For further information, you may contact LOT airlines through their website or you may contact the European Commission through their government site. More information to be released as it becomes available.

ICON A5 LSA Progress
Emily Hazard Guest Reporter
For ages, pilots and engineers have yearned to create a safer aircraft that would be less vulnerable to stalls and spins. In the past, none have been successful. In the 1970’s, NASA scientists scrutinized spin resistance in great detail and performed many tests to get the best results. They came up with the idea of the wing cuff, which separates the wing into two parts. This separation allows for the stall to start at the root of the wing, and not at the ends. Therefore, the stall would never fully develop. NASA’s techniques influenced the design of the Icon A5 Light Sport Aircraft (LSA). In 1991, the FAA cited the work of the NASA scientists and presented new protocols for spin resistance (Part 23). The protocols strictly define hundreds of tests and maneuvers that must be completed in order to be legally considered spin resistant. Since the introduction of these protocols, several aircraft companies have made an effort to create aircraft that fully conform to the FAA regu-
lations. Not one aircraft had succeeded until last year, when the Icon A5 Amphibious Light Sport Aircraft was introduced in Tehachapi, California. The Icon A5 LSA is an aircraft that provides control throughout a stall as well as resistance to a spin. The engineers that created the A5 used NASA’s wing cuff idea, but added flaps for better takeoff performance on the water. The A5 had to endure over 360 tests and maneuvers to fully comply with Part 23 regulations. This is a huge advancement in the safety of the Light Sport Aviation world. Spins and stalls account for 41% of fatal accidents in general aviation, and 70% of all accidents. Stall and spin accidents are exceptionally dangerous because they usually occur at low altitudes. 80% of all stall and spin accidents happen at 1000ft AGL. The A5 decreases the likelihood that stalls and spins will ever even occur, therefore making flying safer. Other than stall and spin resistance, the A5 has other unique features. The A5 LSA will be powered with the new fuel-injected Rotax

912 iS engine. This engine will have up to 70% better fuel efficiency than most engines, and will be able to run on both aviation fuel and automotive gasoline. Its electronic fuel injection system will also provide more safety features. The A5 will also be updated with a new Garmin Aera 796 touchscreen GPS that can be removed for outside use.
The Icon A5 has advanced all of its technology inside of the cockpit as well. The Angle of Attack (AoA) indicator is a major advancement for the A5. The AoA indicator provides safety information on real-time stall avoidance, safe approaches and landings, and an engine-out glide reference. The AoA gauge desigan is formatted
to graphically display the wing in relation to the relative wind, a safety feature that is not usually found in general aviation aircraft. The extensive improvement and testing of the Icon A5 LSA’s flight maneuvers and instruments, shows the dedication and concern for providing one of the safest and most perceptive Light Sport Aircraft in the world.
New FAA Rule Gives Embry-Riddle Students Advantage For Airline Jobs Melanie Hanns ERAU Press Release Special authorization by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced last week grants Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University the authority to certify its Aeronautical Science degree graduates the opportunity to apply first officer status upon reaching 1,000 hours and therefore eligible sooner to work for commercial airlines. Effective immediately, pilots with 1,000 flight hours rather than the 1,500 hours identified last month by the FAA will be eligible for a Restricted Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license and opportunity to apply for a first officer position with an airline. Under the July rule, aviation degree-granting four-year universities like Embry-Riddle were allowed to apply for flight-time reductions for
its graduates based on its comprehensive and rigorous training curriculum that includes the nation’s only full-motion simulator training at an accredited higher educational institution. The FAA notified the university’s College of Aviation officials at both its Daytona Beach, Fla., and Prescott, Ariz., campuses just prior to students heading back to campus to start the fall semester. “This further shows how the governing bodies and leaders in the aviation industry value the quality, hands-on education our students receive,” said Eambry-Riddle President Dr. John P. Johnson. “Our graduates represent the highest level of professionalism, experience and standards that the airlines have come to expect and want in their job force. “This rapid action taken by the FAA demonstrates that our degree programs and students are at the forefront of col-
L aunch C ontrol C enter
legiate aviation,” Johnson added. “We are pleased to receive this validation as the preeminent aeronautical and aerospace academic institution in the world.” The new ruling comes just one month after the FAA increased qualification requirements for first officers – also known as co-pilots – who fly for U.S. passenger and cargo airlines to 1,500 hours in conjunction with holding a restricted ATP. It included allowances for reduced hours for pilots holding bachelor’s degrees from Embry-Riddle’s two residential campuses. (Previously, first officers were required to have only a commercial pilot certificate, which requires about 250 hours of flight time.) To be hired by the airlines, candidates will need both the ATP license and an airline aircraft type rating. Embry-Riddle graduates will be able to meet each of these training requirements with
their access to full-flight simulation via a full-motion simulator installed this month at the Daytona Beach Campus and a long-standing contract with a Phoenix-based pilot training center with full-motion simulator training alongside airline crews for students at the Prescott Campus. Daytona Beach and Prescott Campus students and graduates seeking more information and for transcription evaluation for qualification to receive the benefit, can go to: https://webforms. erau.edu/public/coa/ reduced-atp-minimums/ About Embry-Riddle Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the world’s largest, fully accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace, is a nonprofit, independent institution offering more than 40 baccalaureate, master’s and Ph.D. degree programs in its colleges of Arts and Sciences, Aviation, Busi-

No.6 Eagles Rout No.14 Lady Crusaders vs
Wednesday
September
Alison Smalling ERAU Athletics The sixth-ranked Embry-Riddle women's soccer team opened its 2013 home slate on a strong note as the Eagles dispatched 14th-ranked William Carey 5-1, Sunday at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. Sunday's victory avenged last season's 3-2 loss to the Lady Crusaders and moved the Eagles' overall record to 1-0-1. "I'd like to give a lot of credit to William Carey," ERAU Head Coach Samantha Bohon said. "We knew coming in that they were
Embry-Riddle: 5 an especially talented side this year and I still say that walking away." The game got off to a slow start as both times tried to adjust to the unusual game time and the heat that accompanied the mid-morning contest. William Carey recorded the first two shots of the day, but a subtle shift in momentum saw the Eagles put up three shots on frame in a three-minute span. The pressure paid of for ERAU in the 34th minute. Katherine Ebbs won the ball in the and carried it out to the top right corner of the 18- yard box
before lifting a cross into the box. Ebbs' cross pulled William Carey goalkeeper Linfah Jones out of position and ERAU sophomore Andrea Frøshaug shook her defender just enough to run on to the ball and volley it into the back of the net to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead. The goal turned the tide in favor of the Eagles as they kept the Lady Crusaders pinned in their defensive half for the next 10 minutes. The Eagles created several more scoring opportunities, but were unable to capitalize and took the one-goal advantage into the halftime break. The second half saw the Blue and Gold score early and often. The Eagles' second goal came just seven minutes into the frame when Isabelle Haaranen controlled the ball just outside the box, held off her defender and slipped a low pass to Valerie Obita, who

tapped in her first goal of the year to increase the lead to 2-0. Just three minutes later, Tova Torstensson lifted a long cross from the right into the box. WCU defender Rhiannon Ishmael managed to get a head on the ball but her deflection fell to the feet of an unmarked Obita who buried her second goal of the day to put the Blue and Gold up 3-0. The Lady Crusaders were able to get a goal back in the 63rd minute when Claudia Saucedo played a ball into the path of Blaire Guice who saw the Eagles' Olivia Lynch come off her line and chipped the ERAU goalkeeper for WCU's only goal of the day. Following the temporary lapse on defense, the Eagles regrouped to score two more goals in quick succession. The first came off the head of Martine Olsen who netted her first goal of the year by finishing an Ebbs corner taken from the left side at the 70:42 mark. Less than two minutes later, Ebbs went to the corner flag again, this time taking the set piece from the right side. The junior swung the ball into the box where it slipped through the outstretched hands of substitute WCU goalkeeper Destiny Louviere and curled into the net to seal the 5-1 win. "We created a lot of chances in our last couple of games and scrimmages and hadn't been able to finish, so this afternoon it was nice to see us put some in the back of the net," Bohon stated. For the game, Embry-Riddle bested William Carey 15-7 in shots and 7-1 in corner kicks. Jones pulled in four saves before exiting the game with an injury in the 52nd minute to take the loss for WCU. Lynch pulled in three saves in the third start of her collegiate career. The Eagles return to action at noon on Monday to take on No.7 Mobile at the Embry-Riddle Soccer Stadium. "We are expecting a battle tomorrow with a good Mobile team," Bohon commented. "We're going to have our work cut out for us, but we're going to focus on recovering. Today was a good start to the NAIA schedule for us this season."

ERAU Mens Soccer Starts 2013 with 2-0 Win vs Embry-Riddle: 2
Georgia Gwinnett: 0 Sam Fairhurst ERAU Athletics The Eagles started the 2013 campaign with a convincing 2-0 win over Georgia Gwinnett College on Saturday night. The Eagles started the game well and began to confidently knock he ball about at the back despite the turf pitch being very wet. Before the game, Coach John Haworth predicted that Freshman Icelandic forward Sigurbergur Ellison would be the one to break the deadlock. Coach Haworth's prediction came true after just eight minutes. German forward Veit Couturier beat one defender and released speedy winger Niklas Petersson down the left. Petersson whipped a cross in low and hard to the back post, where Ellison arrived right on time to smash home a debut goal for the Eagles. After the opening goal the Eagles continued to dominate possession, and looked good for their one goal lead. In the 29th minute Couturier picked the ball up just outside the Grizzlies' box, he megged a defender and was brought down for a free kick.
The Eagles' skipper Ally MacDonald stood over the free kick, and before the Grizzlie defense had a chance to get set he played a quick pass into the box to senior forward Jacob Stevenback. Stevenback controlled the ball and was brought down from behind before he had chance to shoot. The clever play from MacDonald and Stevenback earned the Eagles a penalty. Couturier stepped up to take the penalty, and slotted it away nicely to put the Eagles two goals to the good. It took the Grizzlies 35 minutes to muster their first shot on target. The Grizzlies' left winger cut inside onto his right foot and blasted a shot towards junior goalkeeper Nils Carlson's near post. Carlson was equal to the shot and pushed the ball out for a corner. From the resulting corner Carlson made another great save to keep the Grizzlies at bay. In the 43rd minute Ellison nearly doubled his tally for the season. MacDonald played Petersson down the left, this time Petersson chipped a cross to the edge of the box where Ellison was waiting, Ellison hit the cross first time on the volley but was denied by the Grizzlie goalkeeper.
Right on the stroke of half time Eagle trainer Kelly Harrison was called into action. Senior Icelandic forward Viktor Gudnason went up for a header and took a nasty blow to the head. The injury looked bad from the sidelines, but Gudnason was straight to his feet and wanting to carry on. At half time the Eagles had a comfortable 2-0 lead, however, that didn't stop Coach Dave Gregson from tweaking a few things during the break. As expected, the Grizzlies came out flying in the second half. It seemed as if they had had a telling off from their coach about their subpar first half performance. Tackles started to fly in, and the referee issued a few yellow cards. Fortunately the Eagles were able to maintain their composure and continued to keep possession of the ball. The 60th minute of the game brought about the best attack of the contest. The attack began at left back with MacDonald, who played a pass up the line to Petersson, Petersson started to dribble inside, which drew the Grizzlies left back out of position and opened up some space for MacDonald to run into. MacDonald needed no second invitation, and immediately made a run into the space created for him by Petersson. Petersson recognised the run of his skipper and played a no-look reverse pass into the space for MacDonald to run onto. Macdonald took the ball in his stride and crossed the

ball low and hard to the back post, where Ellison arrived right on cue again. Ellison side-footed the ball goalwards, but his finish hit the heel of a defender who was making a last ditch attempt to block the shot. Minutes later the Grizzlies had the chance that they had been waiting for. A free kick from the right was not cleared properly by the Eagles defense, and the ball broke free inside the box to a Grizzlies' striker. The striker was pulled back by an Eagle defender and the referee awarded a penalty. This was a pivotal moment of the game for the Eagles. A goal at this time for the Grizzlies would have cut the deficit to one goal and made it an uncomfortable end to the
game for the Eagles. The Grizzlie forward struck the ball low and hard to Carlson's right, Carlson was at full stretch to save the shot and push it to safety. It was a great penalty save, and meant that the Eagles maintained their two goal advantage. The Grizzlies became increasingly frustrated at not being able to get back into the game and they were down to 10 men in the 75th minute. The Grizzlies had a man sent off for a bad tackle on freshman midfielder Magnus Magnusson. The man of steel jumped straight up and carried on, where most would have stayed down and needed medical attention. The Grizzlies were starting to lose their composure, and five minutes later they
had their captain sent off for punching the ball away after the referee had given a foul against him. After the third red card the game became like a training ground exercise for the Eagles. Embry-Riddle kept the ball for the last five minutes of the game against the eight Grizzlies that were left on the pitch. The game finished 2-0 to the Eagles and was a great way to start the 25th year of the program. Gregson was pleased with the performance and the victory. "It was great to get a result on the road, and it was a very good performance. It gives us momentum to go into our next game against a strong Rollins' squad next Saturday,' Gregson said.
Womens Volleyball Splits Pair of Matches vs Cardinal Stritch: 0 Michael Pierce ERAU Athletics The Embry-Riddle volleyball team swept Cardinal Stritch in convincing fashion (25-17, 25-20, 25-20) before losing a hard-fought five-setter against No. 11 Madonna (31-29, 25-27, 25-18, 17-25, 15-10) on the first day of the ERAU Labor Day Tournament. The Eagles record moves to 2-1 on the season, while CSU falls to 2-2 and Madonna improves to 6-0.
Embry Riddle: 3 The Blue and Gold dominated for a majority of the match against the Wolves, limiting CSU to an .041 hitting percentage. ERAU used a 6-0 run keyed by a pair of Taylor Ruiz kills to break out in front, 12-7, in the first set. After Cardinal Stritch battled back to tie the set at 14, the Eagles rattled off seven consecutive points, including two Jennifer Beatty kills, taking a commanding 21-14 lead. Caitlyn Ballard finished off the set with a kill to give ERAU a 25-17
win and a 1-0 lead in the match. Embry-Riddle slowly pulled away in the second set on the strength of an 11-5 run to open up a 20-13 lead. Ruiz scored three straight points with a kill and backto-back service aces to push the advantage to 23-14. The Wolves fought back with a 5-0 run but couldn't get close enough as the Eagles won the set, 25-20. A 5-0 spurt put the Blue and Gold in front, 11-6, early in the third set. Cardinal Stritch battled back soon thereafter with six straight points to take a 14-13 lead. A string of three CSU errors in the span of four points helped propel the Eagles back to a 21-17 lead, en route to ERAU winning the set, 25-20, to finish the 3-0 sweep.
