ROLLINS AT A GLANCE: The Tars are coming off a
busy week in which the Tars won eight times- four over Kentucky
State, two against Newberry, and a pair over Armstrong Atlantic.
After the 10-0 start, the Tars entered the NFCA DII Poll for the
first time this season, checking in at No. 18.
Batting primarily out of the leadoff spot, Hailee
Keisling hit .625 (15-24) over the eight games last week,
scoring 13 runs and driving in seven more. The sophomore utility
player had six multi-hit games this week and batted over .500 in
seven of eight games this week. Last season's SSC Freshman of the
Year also had six straight games with an extra-base hit, including
her first triple and home run of the season.
Niki
Fogle had a banner past week going 5-0 with a 1.47 ERA in 28.2
innings. The Tennessee native averaged more than a strikeout per
inning and less than a walk per seven innings with 34 and six,
respectively. Fogle's five victories in five days, including two
over Armstrong State, vaulted her into a tie for second place in
program history with 55 career wins.
NOVA SOUTHEASTERN AT A GLANCE: NSU traveled to
Dahlonega, Ga. for North Georgia's tournament on Saturday, Feb. 15
to face the No. 9 Nighthawks and No. 25 Wingate. It was scheduled
for four games, but the Sunday slate was cut due to expected
inclement weather. The Saturday doubleheader could not have gone
better, as the Sharks won both games by one run. Rebecca Thornton
(So., Lido, Calif.) would earn Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of
the Week for going 3-0 against nationally-ranked teams.
PAST MATCHUPS: Rollins swept the Sharks in a
three game set the last weekend of last season.
NEXT UP FOR ROLLINS: The Tars resume play in
Clermont, Fla. on Tuesday, March 3, against Felician and the
University of Findlay. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.
