Men’s Soccer: The maroons finished with a 14-2-4 record to round out an impressive season. They were granted a bid to the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, they fell in the first round to Swarthmore. The team forced a tie with the score at 2-2 which led to penalty kicks. Unable to close out the game from the 18-yard line, the team was sent home. Ultimately, the men’s soccer team had a successful season and look forward to 2020.
Men’s Basketball: After opening the season with a loss, the men’s basketball team (2-2, 0-0 ODAC) rallied back with two straight wins in the Dick Leftwich tournament.

Women’s Basketball: The women’s basketball team (2-1, 1-0 ODAC) opened their season with the Jean Beamer Tip-Off Classic. They fell short in the championship against N.C. Wesleyan 78-63. Next up, they travel to Mary Baldwin on Saturday the 23rd.
Swimming: Roanoke Swim wrapped up their season in grand fashion. Strong efforts from both the men and women led to a thrashing victory over Emory and Henry. Congratulations to all swimmers for a fantastic season.
