HOW IT HAPPENED

• Five different Generals found the back of the net in the opening stanza with tallies from seniors Alex Petras, Julia Thomson, Hanna Bishop and Walker McKnight and sophomore Sophie Edwards. 
• Petras scored first just 37 seconds into the contest. Edwards, standing behind the crease, found Petras rolling into the center of the fan for the first score.
• Roanoke's Libby Bowman responded with the tying goal at 10:13, an unassisted mark driving from the top of the scoring area. 
• On the ensuing draw and possession for W&L, Edwards regained the lead with a goal off of a crease roll.
• After the first quarter W&L owned a 5-1 advantage.
