Silvia Frandji and Anastasiya Shevchenko won straight sets in flight two as well, beating Flagler and Florida Tech 6-2, 6-4 and 6-0, 6-1 respectively. In flight three Sonia Bernal and Allison Arof beat their opponents handily in straight sets to bring home the third and last championship for Rollins. The Tars ended their fall season on a high note as this is the last tournament until they return in February for dual match season.
Men's Golf
The Rollins men's golf team tied with Florida Gulf Coast and Flagler College for fourth place at the Spartan Invitational. Twelve teams competed in the tournament in Tampa over the weekend of October 9 and 10. Difficult, windy weather took its toll on every golfer in the tournament, but the Tars' Jeff Golden managed to post a fifth place finish, tying with Lynn's Greg Gonzales. Junior Daniel Laughlin and Senior Marc Zelina also placed within the top fifty. The Tars travel to Scarsdale, New York October 16 and 17 for The Tillinghast, hosted by St. John's University.
