• After scoring off a feed from Molly Kasemeyer, Ellie Armstrong converted a pair of free position shots for three straight goals.
• Blair returned the favor setting up Connor to make it 5-0.
• Emerson Foster added to the lead before Connor added her second and third goals of the night and at the 18 minute mark, Blair made it a 9-0 start for RC.
• Bridgewater would score to stop the run but Roanoke added three more scores over a five minute stretch.
• In the final four minutes of the first half, Jenna Kuczo scored an unassisted goal and Foster converted a free position to make it 14-2 at the break.
• Morgan Saylor scored a pair of second half goals while Foster and Armstrong added to their game totals.
• Bridgewater would match the Maroons four second half scores but the game was never in doubt as RC picked up their first ODAC win of the season.
• Carly Schoudel played the first half in goal, recording one save. Kyleigh Chickering went the second 30 minutes and made three stops.
• Armstrong finished with five goals and an assist while Blair, Connor, and foster each added three scores.
