Eagles Rising: Emory Soccer’s Place in Atlanta’s Game Emory University has played a pioneering role in Atlanta’s soccer story — from the men’s program that launched in 1959 as Georgia’s first varsity team, to the women’s program that has grown into a national contender with Final Four appearances and a trip to the 2012 national championship game. In this special episode, Jason Longshore sits down with Emory men’s head coach Cory Greiner and women’s head coach Sue Patberg to reflect on the Eagles’ history, their place in Atlanta’s booming soccer culture, and what’s next as both programs continue to thrive on the national stage. Thank you to the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library; the Robert W. Woodruff Library, and Emory University for their support in this project!

Injury time winner for Minnesota as they take the game 2-1. It's only the first game for the Silverbacks. Better luck next time. #atlsoccer

0-0 at half time after a sluggish start. Perez and Paulini are really shining for the Silverbacks. #atlsoccer #nasl
