Location: Ferrum, Va.

The Lead: The Maroons went on the road to Ferrum looking to win their fourth consecutive Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) game. The winless Panthers were all that stood in Roanoke's way and RC struck early and built a 3-0 advantage after the first period of play. The Maroons would out-shoot the Panthers 18-0 on their way to an 8-0 victory.

Highlights:

• Martha Hurley scored an unassisted goal just 19 seconds into the game.
• At the 6:33 mark, Emilee Wooten scored off an assist from Hope Keller to make it a 2-0 lead. The duo teamed up again just over a minute later and Roanoke took a 3-0 lead into the second quarter.
• After a scoreless second quarter, Roanoke got scores from Claudia Roncone and Wooten, both assisted by Grace Vernarelli, in the opening minute of the second half.
• Two minutes later, Wooten scored her fourth goal of the evening to push the Maroon lead to 6-0.
• Taylor von Schilling came into the game for Wooten and quickly added to the RC lead off Vernarelli's third helper of the night.
• An unassisted goal by Abby McCusker would wrap up the scoring as Roanoke picked up the 8-0 ODAC win.
• Madison Wingerter and Hannah Roerden each spent time in goal for the Maroons, but neither saw a shot on goal as the finally shot tally was 18-0 in favor of Roanoke.

Up next: Roanoke will face Randolph-Macon in Ashland on Saturday with the winner securing the #4 seed, and a home game, in the quarterfinals of the 2021 ODAC Field Hockey Championship Tournament.
