SALEM, Va. -- Junior Chris Keating scored a goal and added an assist to help lead the Roanoke men's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Washington and Lee on Wednesday afternoon in Salem, Va.

The Maroons (9-5-1, 6-2) opened up the scoring at the 6:51 mark on an unassisted goal by Keating. The Generals responded to tie the game at 1-1 on a goal by senior midfielder Justin Mygatt (Marietta, Ga./Woodward Academy) at 18:26. Senior midfielder Brian Pirkle (Lexington, Va./Woodberry Forest) notched the assist.

Just over seven minutes later, Roanoke closed out the scoring when Keating fed senior Dave DeMello, who put his shot into the back of the Generals' net.

W&L (5-5-3, 2-2-3) freshman goalkeeper Jim Tartaglia (Richmond, Va./J.R. Tucker) made seven saves while freshman Austin Rose stopped three shots for the Maroons.

Roanoke outshot the Generals, 12-8, and held an 8-5 advantage in corner kicks.
