tight for the rest of the first half, holding the Tars to eight
shots.' The second half was a different story, as Rollins fired off
15 shots compared to just five for the Night Hawks.' Makin scored
his first collegiate goal at the 66:14 mark on a header off a cross
from Juan Kusnir.' The third goal of the game was knocked in by

him on the outside for the one-touch drive.' The Tars scored their
fourth of the game at the 78:09 mark on an own goal by the Night
Hawks defense, and just 25 seconds Kusnir found Vivas in the box
for the fifth and final goal.

them three on the season.' Chin's goal was his fourth of the year,
and Taylor's was his second.' Chin and Makin each had four shots in
the game, Vivas had three, and Jack Clifford and Matthew Gowan each
had two.' Jonathan Williams led the Night Hawks in shots with
three, and D.P. Piniella finished with two.
