Miles was one of four Maroons in double-figures, with John Caldwell and Joey Miller each scoring 12 points and Caleb Jordan adding 11 in the win. Washington and Lee got a team-high 19 points from Clayton Murtha.

Roanoke went on a 16-2 run early in the first-half, taking an 18-4 lead on a Miles three-pointer with 13 minutes to go in the half. The Maroons would push their advantage to 37-20 when Miller drained a three with five minutes to go only to see the Generals close the half on a 15-2 run to make it 39-35 at the intermission.

With the score tied at 41 early in the second-half, RC went on an 18-4 run that was capped by a Jordan bucket that made the score 59-45 with 10:40 to go in the game.
