The Short Story: The Roanoke College field hockey team came from behind and scored a goal in each of the second and third quarters to pick up a 2-1 win over Bridgewater in the quarterfinals of the 2022 ODAC Tournament.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a scoreless first period, Bridgewater scored an unassisted goal at 21:40 when Emily Tyler took a deflection of a Maroon and put it into the cage for a 1-0 lead.
• Saige Bullock answered back for the Maroons right before the end of the first half taking a deflected shot of her own and hit it passed the goalie to tie the score at 1-1 with just 2:06 before halftime.
• Bullock then scored the game-winner in the third period off a shot deflection from Grace Vernarelli at 40:31, from right to left, in front of the goal, putting the Maroons ahead 2-1.
• Much like the first quarter, neither team was able to score in the final 15 minutes with the Roanoke defense holding strong for the win.

BY THE NUMBERS

• Madison Wingerter improved to 12-6 on the season with the victory, playing all 60 minutes in the box.
• The two goals by Bullock gave her 12 for the season. It was also her second game winner of the year.

UP NEXT

• Roanoke will next travel for the semifinals to No. 1 seed and nationally-ranked No. 16 Washington and Lee on Thursday, November 3. Game time is still to be determined in Lexington.
