ROANOKE ROMPS 21-11 IN LACROSSE

Junior attackman Brett Smith, who missed all of last season with a shoulder injury but was the team's leading scorer two years ago, scored seven goals and had two assists as Roanoke routed Pfeiffer 21-11 in men's lacrosse Sunday at Alumni Field in Salem.

The Maroons (1-1), ranked third in Division III, blew the game open with an 8-2 fourth-quarter run. Mark DiBenedetto added three goals and five assists and Bart Zimmerman had three goals for Roanoke. Junior goalkeeper Matt Graham had 20 saves in his first start.

The Maroons play next at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday against visiting Colorado College.
