Forest, Va. –  For the second-time this season, Roanoke goalie Burke McManus has been named the Old Dominion Athletic (ODAC) Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week.
 
McManus, a freshman from Baltimore, Md., helped the Maroons to a pair of conference wins that included a victory over previous ODAC unbeaten Washington and Lee, propelling Roanoke to the top the ODAC standings. McManus stopped 27 shots and registered a 64.3 save percentage in a full 120 minutes of action in front of RC's cage. He opened with eight saves and a 57.1-percent save mark in a 14-6 victory over Bridgewater. He followed that with season-high 19 saves and a 67.9 save percentage in a 14-9 triumph over the Generals. It marked his seventh game with a 60.0-percent or better save percentage this season. Five of his saves against W&L came in the first quarter and allowed RC to build a 6-0 cushion after the first 15 minutes. For the season, McManus leads the ODAC with a 58.4 save percentage. He's fifth with 142 saves and his 101 goals allowed are second amongst keepers with 600 minutes of field action or more.
 
RC will host both the semifinals and finals of the 2016 ODAC Tournament on May 7-8. Saturday's win assures that Roanoke will finish the regular season atop the ODAC standings for the 23rd time since 1981.
