It must have been the weather that set Rollins on such a losing streak this past week. The women's team lost their two games against Tampa and Northwood, while the men's team lost to Baker University.
The women's team was pitted against the 12th ranked Tampa Spartans on Wednesday night. With the rain coming down, the women struggled to compete against the Lady Spartans.
Tampa managed to get five of their overall six goals in during the last 34 minutes of the first half. The Rollins girls were able to come up with one goal when Allison Tradd put a penalty kick in the possession of Jacquelyn Parsons, who tapped it in past Tampa's keeper.
But the Spartans just weren't having it and managed to put in their sixth and last goal only a couple minutes into the second half. Overall the Spartans out-shot the Tars 21-10 and their keeper managed to save seven of those 10 shots. This victory put the Spartans at a season record of 9-1-1 (SSC 3-0-0).
The men's soccer team didn't have any better luck than the women's team when they faced up against the Wildcats from Baker University on another wet evening. The Wildcats scored their first goal shortly into the first half. Then, not too long after, the Wildcats struck again and took a 2-0 lead against the Tars.
Both teams battled into the second half, but no goals were scored until there was about 10 minutes left in the game and Chris Cerroni sent the ball in past Baker's goalie. Ryan Dodds and David Dwyer were both credited on the assist for Cerroni's goal. The men fought hard to bring the game to a tie but were unable to succeed and gathered up another loss at the end of the match. Baker now has a record of 8-3 for the season.
Then again on a rainy Saturday evening, the women's team played at home against the Northwood Seahawks. This game saw five yellow cards overall and one red card. The Seahawks claimed the first goal with less than 10 minutes left in the first half when the Tars loose ball found its way to a Seahawk forward and who then fired it in past Francesca Nicoloso and took the lead 1-0.
