WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 15, 2011) - The
Rollins women's lacrosse team earned a spot on the first Synapse
Sports Division II Weekly Poll, announced by the staff of

The Tars have kicked off their 2011 campaign with a 6-1 record,
dropping their only contest to two-time defending national champion
and current No. 1 Adelphi back on February 22. The Tars are riding
a four game win streak, and most recently picked up a big 20-4
