ROANOKE MEN FALL IN SOCCER

Emory & Henry scored two first-half goals en route to a stunning 2-1 victory over Roanoke College in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference men's soccer game Wednesday in Emory.

James Dawsey scored the first goal for the Wasps (2-0 overall, 2-0 ODAC), on an assist from Peter Johnson to give Emory & Henry a 1-0 lead. The Wasps took a 2-0 lead on Daniel Ellery's goal.

Roanoke (0-1, 0-1) scored late in the first half on Richard Eftoora's goal. The Wasps' goalkeeper, Steven Cassiday, shut out the Maroons in the second half and finished with six saves.

In other sports in the region:

Freshman Sara Jusseaume scored an unassisted goal in the 47th minute to lift Virginia Tech over Virginia Commonwealth 1-0 in women's soccer in Blacksburg, giving the Hokies their first victory.

Goalkeepers Hope Handley and Danielle DeSerio had four saves each to preserve the shutout for Tech (1-2).

James Madison outshot Radford 25-3 as seven players scored in a 7-0 victory over the Highlanders in Radford.

Lexi Thomasson made 18 saves for Radford (1-2) in a losing effort. James Madison is 1-1.

For the second year in a row, Roanoke College cross-country standout J.J. Maybury will hold a five-kilometer run to benefit the West End Center. This year's edition, on Sept. 16, will be accompanied by a mile race starting at the center.
