Box Score

MIAMI SHORES (November 11, 2016) - Rollins survived a slow start, mounting an epic comeback to defeat Lee 3-2, in overtime. With the victory the Tars, who now stand at 11-3-3 on the year, advance to the second round of the NCAA South Region Tournament. Lee finishes their season with a record of 14-3-2.

The Lady Flames got on the board twice in the first half. Both scores came from distance and were just able to find their way under the bar and into the back of the net. Rollins came out of the half active, applying pressure to the Lady Flames' back line. The Tars finally got on the board just before the 70 minute mark when Paxton Sickler broke through the Lee defense and slotted a ball in the side netting. Sickler then equalized, with just four minutes on the clock, putting the ball between the keepers legs, from a severe angel, deflecting the ball into the goal.

The overtime period was back and forth, with both teams manufacturing chances. The contest looked destined for a second overtime period, until Sickler gained control of the ball at the top of the 18 yard box with five seconds on the clock. The captain laid the ball off to her fellow senior Mackenzie Miller, who lifted the ball over the Lee keeper, hitting the underside of the bar and bouncing down into the goal.

Freshman, Kelly Rowswell made four saves in net for the Tars.
