The men's soccer team picked up their eighth victory of the season, fourth in the SSC, at home against the Eckerd Tritons. The boys had a commanding lead throughout the game, until the latter part of the second half when the Tritons came back and nearly stole the game from the Tars.
It was a tight game the first quarter, with no scoring until the 31st minute when Chris Cerroni was first to put a goal on the board. Coming into the game, Cerroni collected a pass from Juan Kusnir and dribbled around the Eckerd defenders, putting the ball in past the Tritons goalkeeper.
The half ended with Rollins up 1-0. In the second half, Juan Kusnir posted 2 goals for the Tars; the first came off an assist from Chris Chafin, and the second was assisted by Ryan Dodds.
Eric Vergati took the Tars' lead up 4-0 in the 68th minute when he took the ball unassisted from midfield and shot it in the Tritons' goal. The Tritons finally kicked it into high-gear at this point, as they shortly after scored their first goal of the game off a loose ball picked up by an Eckerd forward.
Within the next minute, the same forward sent a second ball in past Frazer Siddall. With 90 seconds remaining in the game, the Tritons posted their 3rd goal and brought the game within their reach.
The Rollins defense held off Eckerd until the final buzzer, and the Tars walked away with a 4-3 win. The Rollins men are now 8-4-0 for the season and #2 in the Sunshine State Conference with a 4-1-0 record. The men will play their last home game of the season against Tampa and will also be honoring this year's seniors.
The women's team improved their season record versus Eckerd at home.
In a similar situation, Rollins held the lead over the Tritons throughout the game due to a strong defensive presence and a relentless effort from the Tars offense. Jeri Ostuw tapped in the first goal of the game off assists from Whitney Chamberlin and Laura Guild.
Guild got the second goal in only minutes later, putting the game at 2-0 until the second half. Early in the second half, Allison Tradd passed the ball to Whitney Chamberlin, who shot Rollins' third goal in from the front of the goal box.
The Rollins defense kept the Tritons at bay until a loose ball made its way past Francesca Nicoloso in the 81st minute.
This was only a short glimpse of hope for the Tritons, because in the 85th minute Laura Guild, after receiving a cross from Jacquelyn Parsons, scored her second goal of the night and sealed the game for the Tars.
Rollins dominated in shots with 30 shots made, versus Eckerd's 5 shots made. Their season record is now 7-7-0 (SSC 2-4-0).
The women also have their last home game in the upcoming week versus Newberry and will be honoring this season's seniors as well.
