ON THIS DAY
In 2012 the Eagles were on a three-game losing streak when they welcomed ETSU to Eagle Field. After a scoreless first half, Marc Segarra opened the scoring in the 66
th minute as he settled a free kick off his chest and struck a shot into the lower left corner. ETSU scored goals in the 71
st and 73
rd minutes to take the lead. In the 86
th minute the Eagles equalized as Josh Mort's long throw found Segarra who settled the ball, turned and fired a shot past the keeper. In the first overtime, the Eagles found the golden goal with three seconds remaining. A long throw into the box took a couple of small deflections before landing at the feet of Segarra at the edge of the six and he found the back of the net for a hat trick and a win for the Eagles. Watch the
highlights.
