ROANOKE, Va. -- Three games into its season, Roanoke had outscored their opponents 74-14. After four quarters in what was Franklin & Marshall's season opener, the Maroons' margin increased to 93-24 on the strength of a 19-10 victory.

The Diplomats (0-1) were hanging around near the end of the first quarter in a 3-3 contest. A Stephen Furdock goal with1:44 remaining gave the Maroons (4-0) a 4-3 edge, and sparked a nine-goal run on the F&M cage that encompassed the entire second quarter.

Three of the goals scored by Roanoke in the stretch came on the extra-man. The Maroons cashed in on four of the Diplomats' seven penalties in the game. F&M scored on two of Roanoke's three penalties in the first quarter before the Maroons knuckled down. The Diplomats did not get another chance with the extra-man until the fourth quarter.

F&M's first extra-man goal came from the stick of freshman, Tristan Miller. Miller finished the game with four goals. Colin McKew, who finished the game with three assists, set up Miller's first collegiate marker.

It was McKew that finally halted the decisive Roanoke run with back-to-back goals, both assisted by Justin Rayman, to start the second half. He also assisted three goals in the contest for a five-point afternoon.

Roanoke's Matt Quinton led all scorers with five goals. He reeled off three-straight down the stretch of the second quarter to take his team into the locker room with a 12-3 lead.

The Diplomats saw their early momentum in the third spiked by another Roanoke extra-man goal, making it 13-5. The Maroons followed on with another pair to close out the quarter.

Kevin Kilpatrick setup Miller 1:25 into the fourth, before he scoring on a feed from McKew 1:25 later to make it 15-7. That was as close as the Diplomats got in the second half.

Roanoke fired 48 shots to the Diplomats' 27. Today's game marks the first time the Maroons have been held under 20 goals in a game. F&M's keepers, Chris Marcozzi and Ben Feldberg combined for nine saves.

The Diplomats are idle until next Saturday when F&M opens the home slate with St. Mary's (Md.) College.
