ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (September 27, 2008)
– The tenth ranked Rollins women's soccer team opened
up their Sunshine State Conference season on the road, traveling to
Eckerd College and recording a 3-0 victory over the Tritons. The
Tars now sit with an overall mark of 8-0-1, 1-0-0 SSC, while the
Tritons drop to 3-6-0, 0-3-0 in the conference.
Two-time defending Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year
Lindsay
Giblin scored the game winning goal of the evening off of an
assist from Chelsea
Brady in the 20 minute, giving the Tars a lead that would never
be touched. Two minutes later, Brady would answer back with a
quick, one-touch shot in between the pipes in a one, two, three
fashion. Giblin connected on a pass to freshman Georgia
Libert from a corner kick, and with a quick strike into the box
Libert found her mark on Brady who fired the ball past the
keeper.
Rollins would find the net one more time to complete the evening
as Libert found a loose ball in the left wing and fired a shot into
the right back corner of the goal with just seconds left to go in
the match, giving the Tars their third 3-0 victory in a row.
The Tars dominated the stats, silencing the Tritons in shots
33-1, corner kicks 9-0, and overall play throughout the contest.
Freshman goalkeeper Michelle
Dillingham started in goal for the Tars, making a save on the
only shot from Eckerd in the first half. Junior Stephanie
Woelfel saw time in the second half without seeing any shots on
goal from their conference opponent. Eckerd goalkeeper, Cory
Hawkins, made 11 saves on the night.
The No. 10 Rollins women's soccer team will be back in action on
