PEERY, NY – The Roanoke College men's lacrosse team was ranked #19 in the latest USILA Coaches Poll, announced Monday.

The Maroons, who started the season ranked in the polls, moves back in to the #19 position in Monday's poll.  The Maroons are on a three game win streak, defeating both Hampden-Sydney and Colorado College in the past week.  Roanoke rallied in Saturday's game against the Tigers, scoring five goals in the last quarter to pick up the 11-10 ODAC win, remaining unbeaten in conference play.

Roanoke receives the ranking on a week in which the team will play two other teams ranked in the USILA poll.  On Tuesday, the Maroons play host to #6 ranked Ohio Wesleyan in a contest rescheduled from earlier in the season.  That game will also serve as a pack the house contest.  Ohio Wesleyan is 7-0 entering the confines of Kerr Stadium, coming off of a 10-7 win over Kenyon.  On, Wednesday, the Maroons will return to ODAC play to take on Randolph College on the road.  Saturday, Roanoke will play a road game against #8 ranked Lynchburg.
