The Lead: Roanoke made the trip to the eastern part of the state form a game with Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday afternoon. The Maroons would find themselves tied after one quarter of play, 3-3. Roanoke would outscore the Marlins 17-1 over the next 30 minutes on their way to a 24-6 win, running their early season Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) record to 2-0.

How it Happened:

• Roanoke trailed three different times during the first quarter, before a DJ Nolan to George Gilbert goal would make it 3-3 after one period of play.
• Ethan Caldwell found Luke Kammerman when up a man to start the second quarter with a quick score. Wyatt Whitlow scored the first of three, second quarter, goals as the Maroons embarked on a 17-1 run over the middle two quarters. During the second period, Whitlow and Kammerman scored three times apiece with Gilbert adding a pair and Caldwell one for a 9-0 period.
• Brooks Klyver took the opening faceoff to add to the Roanoke lead ahead of another Kammerman tally. Quinn Evans scored and after a pair of Caldwell goals, the Maroons had scored 15, unanswered, goals.
• The final quarter would see a pair of goals by Carson Peck and after Jack Isabelle and Matt Hemmert got in on the act, Roanoke had run their ODAC record to 2-0 with a 24-6 win over the Marlins.
• Kammerman accounted for nine scores with five goals and four helpers. Whitlow, Gilbert, and Caldwell scored three times each with Luca Docking and Dominic Cuomo combining for four assists. Taylor Lewis started in goal and registered six saves and two caused turnovers before being relieved by Cole Hiller. Greg Oakes and Dan Cain saw fourth quarter action as the four net minders combined for eight saves while allowing just six goals on the 14 shots on goal.

Up Next: The Maroons will take their perfect record on the road next Saturday when they make the trip to Lexington to face Washington and Lee for a 2:00pm start.
