The Lead: Sunday marked the second game in Kentucky for a Roanoke field hockey team that was looking for a road split. The Maroons jumped on Concordia early with a trio of first quarter goals.

  • In a one-minute stretch at the six-minute mark of the game, Emilee Wooten scored a pair of goals to stake Roanoke to an early lead.
  • Tess Taloumis made it 3-0 when she scored three minutes later and the Maroons were well on their way.
  • Early in the second period, Katherine Martin netted her sixth goal of the season off a rebound.
  • Right before the half, Hannah Bunten converted a one-timer off a feed from Lindsey Keyes to make it 5-0 at the break.
  • After a fourth quarter score by the Falcons, Wooten completed her hat-trick to make the final 6-1.
  • Madison Wingerter went the distance in goal, recoding one save, on her way to her first win of the season.
