POLL RANKS ROANOKE MEN 2ND IN REGION

The Roanoke College men's team, off to a 10-1 start, is ranked second in South Atlantic region of the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America poll.

Methodist College (8-2) earned the top spot. Greensboro College was third, followed by Mary Washington, Bethany, Virginia Wesleyan and Randolph-Macon. The last time the Maroons were ranked this high was 1984, when Roanoke won 13 games.

Senior Dustin Fonder, a former North Cross standout, leads Roanoke (10-1) with 30 points, 11 shy of the school record set by Ted Delledera in 1984.

The Old Dominion Athletic Conference record for victories is 15 set by Lynchburg College in 1976 and Virginia Wesleyan in 1990. The Maroons could tie that mark when they face the Marlins at home Oct. 16.

The Roanoke Star girls' under-16 team won the Virginia Youth Soccer Association state championship Sunday in Richmond, defeating Midlothian Blast 2-1 in two overtimes. Aimee Beightol scored both Roanoke goals.
