Goyette's Early Strike Leads RC to 1-0 ODAC Win Over E&H

The Basics
Score: Roanoke 1, Emory & Henry 0
Records: Roanoke 4-3-0, 1-0-0 ODAC | Emory & Henry 5-2-0, 0-1-0 ODAC
Location: Emory, Va.

The Lead: Jackson Goyette scored just 47 seconds into the match as Roanoke topped Emory & Henry 1-0 in ODAC action Saturday afternoon.

How it Happened:

  • Goyette scored the lone goal of the match after beating a Wasp defender and breaking in alone on keeper Didier Grillet and scoring the only goal RC would need on the day.
  • RC keeper Nick Tadros and the Maroon defense made Goyette's goal stand up, with Tadros making four second-half saves including a stop on a Jordan Couch header with just over 30 seconds remaining in regulation.  
  • Grillet made four saves on the day for the Wasps, including three in the second-half to prevent RC from widening its lead.
  • Roanoke held a 12-10 edge in shots on the day, while E&H led in corner kicks 5-3.

Up Next: Roanoke will be back in non-conference action on Tuesday when it travels to Stevenson for a 7:00 p.m. match.
