LEXINGTON, Va. -- The Washington and Lee women's soccer team advanced to the semifinals of the ODAC Tournament with a 1-0 victory over Roanoke on Saturday afternoon at Watt Field.

The Generals (11-3-3) broke a scoreless tie when junior midfielder Kerry Giblin (Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J./Northern Highlands Regional) took a pass from junior midfielder Gina Von Sternberg (Houston, Texas/Episcopal) and sent a bouncing shot home from 18-yards out.

The W&L defense, led by senior goalie Emily Barker (Clifton, Va./Mount Vernon), then held the rest of the way for the Generals' ninth shutout of the season. Barker stopped one of the Maroons' four shots for the game.

Junior Emma Jones (Cary, N.C./Athens Drive) posted seven saves in goal for the Maroons (11-9).

Washington and Lee returns to action on Friday as it faces the winner of the Virginia Wesleyan-RMWC game. The contest will be played at Lynchburg College at a time to be determined.
