Women’s Soccer: The threat of Hurricane Florence coming our way, caused the Lady Maroons’ game to get postponed. This, however, did not stop the ladies from working hard. “We had a run on Saturday morning at the indoor track, and Monday we were able to practice on the turf,” said freshman Emma Woods said. The ladies are excited to be back in action on Sunday, September 23 at Virginia Wesleyan.
Men’s Soccer: The Maroons came out ready to play Wednesday night against Southern Virginia after a week off from games. The team used that built up energy to break a Roanoke College record for the most goals scored in one game. With 12 goals scored, the team was unstoppable. Wish the team luck as they travel to Randolph on Saturday, September 22.
