$website.include("options")

WINTER PARK, Fla. (April 21, 2006) ' On a rainy Friday night in Winter Park, the Rollins College Tars defeated the Sharks of Nova Southeastern University 4-1. Freshman Jamie Rausch hit a three-run homerun in the bottom of the first to give the Tars the early advantage, which they held on to for the remainder of the game. Sophomore Ingrid Schumacher picked up her fifteenth win of the season and freshman Nicole Anderson recorded her first collegiate save as the Tars improve to 39-15 overall and 10-9 in the Sunshine State Conference.

'

Sophomore Rachel Almengual got the Tars going in the first as she beat out a throw to reach first base and then advanced to second when junior Stacy Sanders walked. Rausch then stepped to the plate and sent the ball over the left-center field fence for her fourth homerun of the season, giving Rollins the early 3-0 lead.

'

Katie Veltri quickly answered for the Sharks (20-25, 6-13 SSC) as she sent a Schumacher pitch over the center field fence, cutting the Tars advantage to 3-1. The Tars struck again in the second as freshman Ashley East doubled to center field and then scored on sophomore Jennifer Olsen's bunt single. Olsen then stole second base for her twenty-ninth steal of the season, breaking the Tars single season stolen base record. On the season, Olsen has 29 stolen bases and has only been thrown out four times.

'

As the rain continued to fall and neither team was able to put another run on the board, the Tars walked away with the 4-1 victory. The two teams will return to the field on Saturday, April 22 for a 1:00 p.m. double header at Lake Island Park.
