There was a good sized crowd that attended Saturday's Men's and Women's soccer games against longtime Sunshine State rival, the Barry Buccaneers.
Maybe it was the game itself or the tantalizing smell of the grill food during the tailgate, but either way, both games were great to watch.
The women's team took the field at 4:30pm to take on the #16-ranked Lady Bucs. The first goal of the game belonged to Barry, coming in towards the end of the first half, when a shot was put in past goalkeeper, Francesca Nicoloso.
A short time into the second half, Barry got another point on the board after another shot past Nicoloso. Rollins was finally able to put one up on the board when sophomore Cristina Saenz scored the first goal of her Rollins career with an assist from Alison Tradd in the 76th minute.
Shortly after, however, Barry answered back with their third goal of the game and managed to keep their hold on the Tars until the match's end.
The women now have a season record of 5-3-0 (SSC 0-2-0) and they look to take on Nova Southeastern next in Ft. Lauderdale.
The men improved their overall season record to 5-2-0 (SSC 2-0-0). The first goal of game was from Ryan Dodds, with an assist from junior Tres Loch and goalie Frazer Siddall only 7 minutes into the first period.
Loch made a long pass back to Siddall, who booted the ball down the field to Dodds and put it in past Barry's keeper.
Freshman Jon Gruenewald owned the second goal of the game with an assist from freshman Dennis Chin. They closed out the first half with a score of 2-0.
Three minutes into the second period, Dodds headed in a goal after receiving another assist from Gruenewald, who got a long pass from senior Daniell Robertson.
Then in the 59th minute, Juan Kusnir took a cross from Dodds, leading to the fourth Rollins goal of the game. For the fifth and final goal of the game, Chris Cerroni caught a pass from Leslie Osei and dribbled past the defenders, eventually knocking one past Barry's goalkeeper.
The score when the final whistle blew was 5-0. Rollins defense managed to keep Barry from putting in a single goal the entire game. Rollins goalie, Frazer Siddall, had 3 saves, making this game his second shutout. Overall, the men had 11 shots.
Before the men's game commenced, Rollins awarded men's coach, Dr. Keith Buckley, win an award as the All-Time Wins Leader in Rollins history. Dr. Buckley has seen the Tars win a total of 160 games during his career as the Men's soccer coach.
Luckily, one of those wins came from the men's game versus Barry.
The Rollins men will look to continue their winning streak at home on Wednesday when they take on #1 ranked Lynn University.
