The match was held at the Orange County National golf club with par of 147.
The Tars were lead by Junior Tim Acquaviva who shot an 8 under 136, which was good enough for second among individuals in the entire tournament. Acquaviva shot a 66 on the first day, which was the best score of the day.
Other notables for the Tars were Junior Dan Walters, who finished with a 1 under 143, which was tied for 15 among individual performers.
Darren Lundgren, Daniel Laughlin and Todd Shagin rounded out the field for the Tars. Florida Southern's Greg Koch was the top individual performer with a 10 under 134.
Florida Southern finished in first while West Florida finished in second ahead of the Tars with Florida Southern shooting 560, and West Florida finishing four shots behind at 564.
As a team, Rollins shot a 574, which was tied for third with Columbus State. Rollins shot a 283 on the first day, which was good enough for third best. On the second day the Tars followed with a 291.
"I thought we did very well in this tournament. Hopefully this will set the tone for the rest of the year," said Coach Kyle Frakes.
Not only does Coach Frakes act as the head golf coach, he is also the men's assistant basketball coach. As the golf coach he has successfully led the Tars to seven NCAA tournament appearances, including the 2002 NCAA championship and a second place finish in 2003.
The success at this weekend's Coker Invitational shows a lot of promise for the rest of the golf season.
Rollins tees it up on Oct. 10 and 11 as they participate in the Spartan Invitational, which is hosted by the University of Tampa. They expect to do well despite the competition.
Keep an eye on the team's progress and wish them luck in their upcoming tournaments.
