WINTER PARK, Fla. (September 15, 2007) ' The
Rollins women's soccer team started the Sunshine State Conference
season with a bang, defeating Barry 4-0 at Barker Family Stadium on
Saturday night. Rollins improved to 5-3 overall and 1-0 in SSC
play, and the Buccaneers dropped to 3-3, 0-1.
The usual suspects led the way for the Rollins offense, with
junior Lindsay Giblin and freshmen Chelsea Brady and Jessica Deese
each scoring goals. Giblin scored two to increase her team-leading
total to eight, and she also added her fifth assist of the year.
Brady scored her fifth and Deese scored her third. Three more
freshman picked up assists, as midfielders Leah Hirsch, Kelsey
Kimmel, and Marie Sapper factored into the attack.
Rollins got on the board first on a penalty kick by Giblin in
the 14th minute. The score remained 1-0 going into halftime, but
the Tars were eager to open up the game in the second half. Deese
scored at the 57:48 mark off an assist by Giblin to push the score
to 2-0. The Tars added to their lead with Giblin's 82nd minute
goal, receiving assists from Kimmel and Sapper on a header past the
keeper. The final goal came three minutes later, as Hirsh sent a
long clearance to Brady making a run onto goal, and Brady was able
to beat the keeper one on one before sending it into the net.
Freshman goalkeeper Stina Lykke Petersen made two saves in goal
to help the Tars to the shutout. Barry goalkeeper Kelly Tryson
saved seven shots for the Buccaneers.
The Tars pressured the Barry defense all game, attempting 33
shots compared to just nine for the Buccaneers. Rollins also held a
7-2 corner kick advantage.
The win marked the first time that the Rollins women's soccer
team had defeated the historically dominant Buccaneers. The Tars
now have a record of 1-11-2 against Barry in the all-time
series.
Rollins will go on the road to continue the SSC season in a game
at Saint Leo on Saturday, September 22 at 7:00 p.m.
