• Roanoke managed to break through early in the second quarter as Emilee Wooten took the pass from Lindsey Keyes and scored 38 seconds in.
• Immediately after Randolph-Macon attempted to equalize and had some great opportunities. Maria-Teresa Ambrogi-Torres (Sr., Richmond, Va. / Trinity) came back and had a shot saved just seconds after the Maroons goal and another shot a few minutes later went high. Alaina McCoy (Fr., Fredericksburg, Va. / Stafford) had a pair of shots also saved before Lindsay Moore (Sr., Ashland, Va. / Hanover) closed the frame with a shot that would have gone in if it wasn't for a defensive save by Madison Filson.
• From there, both teams with back and forth with chances on the attack. Most of them came from the Maroons as they tried to extend the lead, but were thwarted by Snyder.
