Roanoke (3-2) led the entire first half as the Maroons started with three unanswered goals before Carrier put the Seahawks on the board with an unassisted goal at 17:55.  Junior attacker Sunni Ray (Severna Park, Md./Severn) returned RC's three-goal cushion at 16:22 then the teams traded the next two goals before back-to-back goals by Carrier cut the Maroons' lead to 5-4 at 9:58.  A free position goal by each squad made the halftime score 6-5 in Roanoke's favor.   

Two goals by junior midfielder Gina Valles (South Windsor, Conn./Westminster) pushed the Maroons' lead to 8-6 at 28:06.  Then Zerhusen sparked St. Mary's 8-0 run at 26:18 as she completed a pass from senior attacker Emily Norris (Timonium, Md./Dulaney).  Junior attacker Nora Fallon-Oben (Silver Spring, Md./St. John's [D.C.]) scored the Seahawks' final goal at 10:48, while Valles found the back of the net at 4:16 on a free position shot for Roanoke's final tally of the game.

Valles finished the afternoon with four goals and an assist, while junior attacker Brooks Laufman (Annapolis, Md./Severn) contributed two scores and a helper for the Maroons.
