Kristen McCoy's three goals, the final one with 13 seconds left in regulation, propelled Roanoke College over the University of Mary Washington in a nip-and-tuck women's soccer match at the Battleground yesterday.

The Eagles' Katie Patchett gave UMW a 2-1 lead early in the second half with an unassisted goal in the 56th minute. But McCoy tied the score with her second goal of the game with 14 minutes remaining. McCoy then booted the game-winner 13 minutes later.
