ARNOLD, Md. (April 19, 2015) -
A second half push wasn't enough on Sunday afternoon as No. 10
Rollins fell to No. 15 Seton Hill, 11-10, to close out their

With the loss, the Tars finished their regular season with an

way, falling behind by four goals at the half, trailing 9-5.

muster a shot over the final two minutes, eventually falling,
11-10.
