LEXINGTON, Va. -- Junior forward Andrew Grimes (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay) headed home the game-winner with 1:29 to play in regulation off a corner kick from senior midfielder Jon Wilson (Virginia Beach, Va./Hampton Roads) to lift host Washington and Lee to a 2-1 victory over fourth-seeded Randolph-Macon in the ODAC Men's Soccer semifinals.

The win moves W&L (17-1) into the ODAC tournament finals Saturday afternoon against third-seeded Virginia Wesleyan. Game time is set for 1:30 pm.
