Both teams entered into the game in a tie for fifth place on the latest IWLCA Division II Coaches Poll, announced earlier this week, marking the first time Rollins has ever played an opponent with the same national ranking at the time of competition.

Rachel Valocchi and Maddie McVicker netted one goal each, while Sammy Ottimo earned one assist. Junior midfielder Maggie Dougherty matched a career high in draw controls, winning 10 of the Tars’ 21 on the night. Taylor Kienle and Rizk added three draw controls each, followed by Lindsay Van Beck and Hannah Coakley with two apiece, and Hannah Forbes with a draw control of her own. Gabby Tanner led the team in ground balls with five, followed by three from Ashton and Adia Field-Ridley. Van Beck, Rizk, P. Brock, and Field-Ridley led the team in caused turnovers with two apiece. In goal, Tanner played a full game, facing 20 shots and 15 shots on frame where she earned five saves while allowing 10 goals.
Tampa saw three goals from Kristyn Staley, followed by two by both Carly Vaccaro and Caroline Forester. Vaccaro added an assist for a three point outing. Kayla Kosubinsky netted a goal and two assists, while Claire Swanson scored a goal and an assist on the night. Lizzie Pierpoint earned a goal of her own, while Rachel Crawford dished out an assist. Forester led the team in ground balls with four, followed by three from goalie Bridget Sutter. Both Swanson and Pierpont earned a team high three draw controls, followed by two from Allie Popelar. Leading the Spartans in caused turnovers was Swanson with three. In Goal, Sutter faced 31 shots and 29 shots on goal from the Tars, earning 11 saves while allowing 18 goals in 60 minutes of action.

How it Happened:
German got the scoring started by converting a free position shot at the 28:23 mark to give the Tars a 1-0 lead, but an unassisted goal by Staley evened the score at 1-1 a little over four minutes later, marking the only time the game would be tied throughout the contest. The Tars then netted three straight to take a 4-1 lead with 19:07 on the clock, but saw the Spartans outscore them in the next 10 minutes, 3-1, to whittle their lead down to one, 5-4, with 9:38 to go before the halftime break. Rollins was not about to back down, and scored four straight to close out the first half with a 9-4 lead. The Tars continued to ride their overwhelming momentum over Tampa into the second half, outscoring UT 9-6 in the final 30 minutes of play to wrap up the game with a decisive 18-10 victory.
