Key Moment 

  • Girom Affolter scored in the 55th minute to help the Maroons secure the victory. 

How It Happened 

  • Quinn Kunath found Michael Ramsey just past midfield after the Maroons won the ball back on their defensive end. Ramsey then turned his defender, made a move at the top of the box and buried the ball into the lower right corner. 

  • Just moments later Till Schumacher won the ball back in the Maroons' attacking third and found a wide-open Ramsey who took a touch and poked the ball in for the second goal of the game. 

  • Virginia Wesleyan got one back in the 26th minute off a corner. 

  • Girom Affolter picked off the Marlins' defense in the second half and had an open net to finish off the third goal for the Maroons. 

  • The Marlins scored another goal in the 65th minute but the Maroon defense held strong to seal the victory. 

Notes and Notables 

  • This is the first time since September 30th, 2017 that Roanoke has beaten the Marlins. RC also won that game at home but by a score of 2-0. 

  • Ramsey's goals were his fifth and sixth of the season. He has now surpassed his previous season high of four goals in a season. 

  • It was also Ramsey's second multi-goal game of the season. He previously scored two goals against Catholic to start the season. 

  • Affolter's goal was his second of the season and the third game winner of his career. 

  • Schumacher's assist was his first of the year and second of his tenure with the Maroons.
