LEXINGTON, Va. -- Senior midfielder Jenny Thomas (High Point, N.C./Central) scored off a cross from sophomore forward Molly Plummer (New Orleans, La./Sacred Heart) at 85:54 to lift the Washington and Lee women's soccer team to a 4-3 win over 19th-ranked Roanoke this Saturday on the Liberty Hall Fields.

The Maroons (10-2, 7-2) established a 2-0 first-half lead on goals by sophomore midfielder Jill Hoffmeister (Norfolk, Mass./Rivers) and freshman midfielder Taylor Howe (Winchester, Mass./Winchester). However, W&L battled back to tie the game, 2-2, before the half when Plummer assisted on senior defender Lindsey Duran's (Colleyville, Texas/Ft. Worth Country Day) goal at 37:29.

Roanoke struck again just 1:56 into the second half when Hoffmeister converted a W&L turnover into her second goal of the afternoon for a 3-2 advantage. The Generals again rallied from behind to tie the match at 3-3 when junior forward Fontaine Marcoux (Washington, D.C./Potomac) corralled a loose ball in front of the RC goal and fired a shot into the back of the net at 79:32.

The score remained knotted at 3-3 until Thomas' game-winner.

Sophomore goalies Emily Barker (Clifton, Va./Mount Vernon) and Abigail Pfeffer (Essex, Conn./Portsmouth Abbey School) split the time in the Generals' net, with Pfeffer picking up the win. Freshman Jess Simmers (Downington, Pa./Villa Maria) logged all 90 minutes in the Roanoke net, making two saves.

W&L (9-1-2, 7-1-1) will be in action again this Wednesday when it hosts Eastern Mennonite for a 4:00 pm match.
