W&L WOMEN CAPTURE ODAC TITLE

Nicole Ripken scored with one second left as 14th-ranked Washington and Lee defeated Roanoke 7-6 on Saturday to win its second straight Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's lacrosse championship in Lexington.

Ripken's goal came off an assist from Carrington, who had picked up the ball at midfield with 10 seconds left and found Ripkin alone near the crease.

Douoguih scored four goals and added another assist in the second half as W&L (10-2) outscored Mount Saint Mary's 9-5.
