SALEM, Va. --- Roanoke freshman Robbie
Lentine netted the game-winner in the Maroons 2-1 victory
over Eastern Mennonite in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference
Tournament Quarterfinals on Saturday. The Maroons will go on
to play the winner of the Randolph/Guilford matchup at 7:00 PM on
Saturday night.
Roanoke (11-4-1) has a 5-3 all-time record against Eastern
Mennonite (8-11-1) in the ODAC Tournament, and they are 4-1
over the Royals in the quarterfinal game of the ODAC
Tournament. The Maroons are also 12-6 against the Royals in
games that have one goal differentials.
Roanoke is 32-14-3 all-time in the ODAC tournament, and is looking
to improve on that record over the next week. The Maroons
were a #1 seed in 2011, and fell in the opening round, 2-0, to
Virginia Wesleyan
Eastern Mennonite put a goal up on the board early against the #1
seed, as Christian Rhine slipped past the keeper and put the Royals
up 1-0 at 8:56. It took a little while for the Maroons to
respond, as they scored the equalizer just moments before the end
of the half, when Tyler Carbaugh scored in the lower
left corner of the goal.
The game winner came at 73:46, when Robbie Lentine had a
one on one opportunity with the goalkeeper, and took a shot into
the left side of the net. That goal would prove to be the
last as the Maroons advance with the 2-1 victory over the
Royals.
Roanoke outshot Eastern Mennonite 19-6, but trailed in corner kicks
6-3. Patrick Bain led the team in shots with six,
followed by Carbaugh and Brian White, who had
three each. Cole Sinclair played all 90 minutes in
net and tallied one save.
The Maroons will host the semifinal round on Wednesday, October
31st, against Randolph. The time of kickoff is
still to be determined.
