Roanoke Survived Methodist Rally

The Maroons opened the season with a pair of wins over the weekend and welcomed a Methodist team to the Cregger Center that was playing their third straight game against Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) competition. A slow start for the Maroons would see the visitors from Fayetteville take an early advantage. Roanoke would mount a comeback and take a 30-22 edge into the break. RC would build as much as a 10-point edge, but could never pull away. A three-point play with 1.9 seconds left on the clock would make it a one-point Roanoke lead. A made free throw would make the final score 65-63 in favor of the 20th ranked Maroons.
