Top-seeded Randolph-Macon defeated Roanoke 4-1 to win the Old Dominion Athletic Conference women's soccer championship in Ashland on Sunday. The Yellow Jackets captured their 12th title in the past 14 years.
Former Cave Spring High School standout Aimee Beightol opened the scoring for Randolph-Macon in the first half and Carrie Hall added a goal as the Yellow Jackets took a 2-0 halftime lead. Randolph-Macon scored two goals just 1:07 apart midway through the second half, one by Jenny McGregor and another by Hall, to push its lead to 4-0. Angela Amstutz tallied the Maroons' lone goal on a penalty kick with 23:31 remaining.
Sunday's game was the eighth time the Yellow Jackets and Maroons have met for the title and the fifth in the past six seasons. Randolph-Macon will compete in the NCAA Division III national championship tournament. Third-seeded Roanoke finished the season at 12-7-1.
