The last time the Maroons held a team scoreless was on February 29th, 2012, when they defeated Hollins in their ODAC opener, 24-0. The Maroons now have a 34-2 all-time record against Hollins. This is also the fifth time Roanoke has scored 20 goals or more in a game, with this being the third consecutive game to reach this mark. With a win on Saturday, the Maroons will pick up their third 10-win season in four years, and the seventh since Mary Schwartz has been head coach of the Maroons.
The Maroons spread out the scoring amongst a number of players in the first 10 minutes of the first half, as six goals were scored by five different Maroons. Goals came from Claire Feeney, Allison Bonanno, Morgan Conroy, Julia Galanto, and Darragh Evarts, who had two. After the first 10 mintues, Roanoke led 1-0.
Evarts scored her third goal at the 17:54 mark, and would go on to score five goals in the first half alone. Players who also scored multiple goals in the first half were Bonanno, Galanto, and Nicole Zelnik, who each tallied two goals apiece. Courtney McCartin scored one goal in the first half, but assisted in two other goals. At the end of the first half, Roanoke held a 14-0 advantage over Hollins.
Scoring slowed down considerably for the Maroons in the second half. Mackenzie Haymaker scored the first goal at 27:45. She was followed five minutes later by Katerina DeSimone at 22:02. Exactly 10 minutes later, Haymaker scored her second of the game. Haymaker then assisted on a goal by Allison Beames with 10 minutes to play. Catherine Pace scored her second goal of the year, on a shot that was assisted by Broghan McEnerney. The final Roanoke goal was scored by Haymaker, who found the back of the net on a free position shot. Ronaoke picked up the victory 20-0 against Hollins on Wednesday.
The Maroons were led in scoring by Darragh Evarts, who tallied five goals with two assists for seven points. Mackenzie Haymaker finished behind Evarts with three goals and one assist. Julia Galanto, Allison Bonanno and Nicole Zelnik each had two goals, while Bonanno led the squad with four assists. Evarts finished with a team high six draw controls. Lauren Curtin played 30 minutes in goal with four saves, while Allison Shannon and Kelsey Charest split time in the second half and combined for three saves.
Hollins' Maddie Horton led all players with eight ground balls. Horton, who also played goal for Hollins, tallied 11 saves in 60 minutes between the pipes.
The Maroons return to action on Saturday, April 19th as they take on Randolph-Macon College. That game, which will serve as Senior Day for the Maroons, is scheduled for a 1:00 PM start.
