BEULAVILLE -- Rosewood's Matt Howell scored two goals as the Eagles fell to East Duplin 3-2 on Wednesday on the road.

Howell scored once midway through the first half on an assist from Brandon Hietpas, then again in the second half unassisted.

East Duplin led 2-1 at halftime before taking a 3-1 advantage at the 15-minute mark of the second half.

Antell Richards had 12 saves in the goal for the Eagles (1-3), who host Wayne Country Day at home today.

"They (East Duplin) got a lot of shots on us and put a lot of pressure on us, but we had opportunities to score," Rosewood coach Daniel Mitchell said. "We keep getting better and better each game -- hoepfully we can continue to improve."
