CHICAGO -- Despite controlling the play for the majority of the contest, the University of Chicago dropped a 1-0 decision to Emory University in University Athletic Association men's soccer action Saturday at Stagg Field.

The only goal of the match came in the 69th minute when the Eagles' Andrew Natalino fired a penalty kick into the lower left corner of the net past a diving freshman goalkeeper Elek Lane (Eau Claire, Wis./ Memorial).

Chicago (5-2-2, 0-1) outshot the Eagles by a 15-5 margin, forcing Emory netminder Alex Wong to make nine saves.

The Maroons' first scoring chance came in the 19th minute when freshman Michael Choquette (Springfield, Mass./ Loomis Chaffee) fired a shot off the post.

Freshman Matt Vecchitto (Pleasant Prairie, Wis./ Tremper) nearly tied the game in the 80th minute with a blast off the crossbar that came straight down without crossing the goal line.

Lane made two saves on the afternoon as he suffered his first loss in eight starts.

The loss ended Chicago's unbeaten streak at seven matches.

The Maroons return to non-conference play on the road Tuesday at Carthage College.
