On Tuesday night, October 29th, the Roanoke men's and women's soccer teams will be in action in the final games of the regular season. The women will take on Eastern Mennonite University at 5:00 PM, while the men will host Lynchburg College at 7:30 PM. Both of these games are Pack The House events, which means we want to fill the stands with the Roanoke College faithful to show support to our teams!
The women's soccer team is currently tied for third in the ODAC and is on a current hot streak. The Maroons are undefeated in the month of October, going 7-1 through the month. Also during October, the Maroons have outscored their opponents 28-3, averaging 3.5 goals per game. Roanoke is coming off of a 5-0 win over Hollins University, where sophomore Ashley Barnes completed her second hat trick of the season, scoring three of the Maroons five goals.
The men's soccer team currently has a record of 9-5-2, and is tied for fifth in the ODAC standings. The men are taking on Lynchburg College, a team that Roanoke holds a 36-20-6 all-time record against. The Maroons are led in scoring by Marc Dinkel, Robby Lentine and Brian White, who each have five goals apiece. Dinkel leads the team in assists with six, followed by last year's ODAC Rookie of the Year, Tyler Carbaugh, with four.
