How It Happened 

• Bridgewater scored first on an early player-up opportunity and were able to keep the Maroons off the scoreboard for the better part of the first quarter. After a Lillie Parsons goal broke the scoreless streak with less than seven minutes left, RC was off to the races, making it 6-1 by the end of the quarter. 

• Roanoke kept it rolling for the rest of the game, never allowing Bridgewater a chance to get back into the contest. 

Notes and Notables

• McDonald also reached the 200-point milestone in the game, becoming the 12th Maroon to do so. The milestone also means that she is the second person in program history to total 200 career points and 200 career draw controls. Darragh Evarts '15 is the only other player to accomplish the feat as she eclipsed 300 in both categories. 

• McDonald also led the squad in draw controls with eight. 

• Sydney Winpigler tied her career high in points after setting it last week against Shenandoah. The sophomore posted six points on three goals and three assists. 

• Zoe Blair, Addison Widmer, and Sarah Brisson each had four points. Blair and Widmer posted hat tricks and an assist while Brisson had a pair of both goals and helpers. 

• Regan Tharaldson had her first career hat trick as she posted three points in the contest. 

• Lillie Parsons and Emmie Verville rounded out the point talliers as Parsons had a goal, and Verville dished out a pair of assists. 

• Blair led in ground balls with three while Widmer, Jordan Wheeler, and Reese Ormiston posted two caused turnovers a piece. 

• In her first career start for RC, sophomore goaltender Maddi Barnhorst got her first collegiate win. She made six saves in the game.
