The Rollins athletic teams had an..... interesting year in 2004-2005; there were conference champions and runners-up, teams made it to the NCAA Division II finals and teams travelled hundreds of miles to compete. There were exciting wins and disappointing losses, easy victories and crushing defeats. I guess you could say everything you can about sports this year, but a few performances and performers stood out.
During the fall, volleyball, soccer, and cross country had their main season. Volleyball finished their season with 20 wins overall and 14 losses. This was only the second time in 9 years that the team has won 20 matches. They finished fourth in the Sunshine State Conference. Julia Carner broke the team record for assists, attacks and digs. She racked up 1537 kills, 508 digs, and 1421 assists. The volleyball team is not graduating any seniors so the team should be strong next season.
Women's soccer won 9 of their 15 games, finishing fourth in their conference. They went on to win the semifinals and quarter finals in the SSC tournament, beating rivals Barry in a grueling game that went to double overtime and then penalty shootouts. The lady Tars ended up losing in the final against Tampa, but all in all had a good season. Senior Keri Dye was named to the 2004 Coaches Association's All-South Soccer Team. She was the only senior to graduate.
The cross country team didn't have the best season; a lot of their meets were cancelled due to hurricanes. They only managed to race in three. The first meet was at St Leo and the Lady Tars finished third, the second was the ERU/Smoothie king Cross Country Classic and the Tars finished eighth. At the SSC tournament the Tars came in fifth.
During the winter season, basketball (and their cheerleaders) and swimming had their seasons. Women's basketball had a very inconsistent season, going on numerous winning and losing streaks. They ended up with a record of 21-10, finishing fifth in the conference. They went to Barry as underdogs in the tournament, but they ended up beating both the first and second seeds, winning the tournament and advancing to the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately they went in seeded last and lost their first game against the number one seeds.
