10/24/2012
 Earl Rimbey '12 is making his (and our!) name known in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference soccer world. The frosh midfielder #20 helped the Lynchburg Hornets score a victory against Virginia Wesleyan, securing a home first-round game for the Hornets in the ODAC tournament on Saturday. Lynchburg coach Chris Yeager had this to say about the Seahorse standout, "... some huge play from Earl Rimbey and Daniel Jobrack up the middle. They were men out there today and they are just freshmen... that's been huge for us ... "

He was able to hit shots from outside, initiate, and he was out there on defense as well."
