SALEM, Va. -- Senior defender Michael Walter tallied the game-winner in the second half to lead Roanoke to a 1-0 victory over Washington and Lee in ODAC men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon at Kerr Stadium.
After a scoreless first half, first-year defender Ben Freeman found Walter, who knocked the ball past W&L first-year goalkeeper Alex Lambert (Massapequa Park, N.Y./Chaminade) at 52:33 and RC held on for the one-goal win.
Sophomore Ben Bartlett (Towson, Md./McDonogh) and Lambert split time between the pipes for W&L (4-2-1, 0-2-1). Bartlett had no saves, while Lambert stopped two would-be goals. Senior Adam Thompson played the entire 90:00 and did not make any saves for Roanoke (5-2-1, 2-0).
The Generals return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Emory & Henry for a 4:30 pm game.
