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.

Roanoke (10-4) led 4-3 in the first half before Angie Carrington scored two goals in 21 seconds to give the Generals a 5-4 lead. Maroon Liz Florence scored her third goal with 1:51 left to tie the score at 6-6.

Carrington led Washington and Lee (14-2) with three goals and an assist. Lisa Dowling, who has 78 goals this season, got only one. She was injured with 13 minutes left in the first half and did not return.

In other lacrosse:

Junior attackman Brett Smith scored four goals, giving him a school-record 53 on the season, as the Roanoke men crushed Virginia Wesleyan 40-6 in an ODAC game at Alumni Field in Salem. Smith eclipsed the old record of 51 goals set by Sean Smith in 1982.

The Maroons (10-3, 5-0 ODAC) barely missed the national college record for goals in a game, which was set by Duke as they defeated Guilford 41-6 in 1978. Roanoke's previous team goal record was 33.

Wiemi Douoguih scored a career-high nine points with six goals and three assists as the Washington and Lee men's team defeated Mount Saint Mary's 17-12 in a non-conference match at Emmitsburg, Md.

Kevin Pehlke scored five goals as Virginia downed Maryland-Baltimore County 15-9 in a non-conference men's game at Charlottesville.

Eighth-ranked UVa (9-4) led 7-5 at halftime but took an 11-7 lead when Pehlke scored four straight goals in the third quarter. He is the all-time Virginia goal and point scoring leader with 134 goals and 232 points.

The Retrievers are 6-7.

Kelly Dadonna had five goals and one assist as the top-ranked Virginia women's team defeated Delaware 20-10 in a non-conference game at Newark, Del.

Midfielder Doug Van Horn scored the winning goal with two minutes left in the second overtime as two-time defending North Carolina state high school champion Chapel Hill slipped past Rockbridge County 6-5 in the final of the Lee-Jackson Lacrosse Classic at Lexington.

In the consolation final, Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) crushed Patrick Henry 16-3. Ryan Mills scored two goals for the Patriots.
