WINCHESTER, Va. – The Shenandoah University women's lacrosse team dropped a 13-10 ODAC contest to Roanoke College Friday afternoon.
Roanoke (11-5, 6-2 ODAC) used a five-goal run sandwiching halftime to steal the win from Shenandoah (11-4, 6-1).

RC would go on to score the next three of four goals.
