Parham's Goal Lifts Randolph-Macon to 1-0 Win Over Eastern Mennonite

Box Score

Andrew Parham headed in a Rodrigo Walsh miss in the 80th minute to give Randolph-Macon Men's Soccer (5-5-1 / 2-2-1 ODAC) a 1-0 victory over Eastern Mennonite in Ashland Tuesday.

Both Randolph-Macon and Eastern Mennonite took five first half shots but could not find the back of the net.

R-MC picked up the offense in the second half, taking 11 shots and two corner kicks. The Yellow Jackets' second half attack paid off in the 80th minute when Rodrigo Walsh was awarded a free kick from just outside the box.

Walsh's shot was punched off the crossbar by Royal's keeper Ryan Baker but bounced in front of the net and was headed in by the Yellow Jackets' senior midfielder Andrew Parham.

The Randolph-Macon defense, led by goalie Matty Rocawich, remained tough throughout the final ten minutes to preserve the 1-0 victory. Rocawich finished with four saves for the game.

R-MC outshot EMU 16-10 and held a 3-1 advantage in corners. The Yellow Jackets pick up the win despite 13 offside calls.

Randolph-Macon will be back in action Saturday, October 9th when they host Emory and Henry for a 2:00 ODAC match.
