Sharks Bite Tars in High Scoring Clash

Despite the loss Rollins locked up a berth in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament

WINTER PARK, Fla. (November 2, 2021) – Rollins could not keep up with Nova Southeastern, as the two teams battled in a shootout at Barker Family Stadium.  Despite the 3-2 loss Rollins locked up a berth in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament; the Tars' seeding will be determined by their final regular season contest.  On the night, Rollins falls to 6-6-3 overall and 4-2-3 in SSC action.  Nova Southeastern improves to 8-6-1 overall, and 6-4-0 against conference opposition.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
First Half
  • The Tars controlled much of the play in the first half, but the Sharks capitalized on their opportunities.
  • Nova Southeastern jumped in front at the 15 minute mark.  Louise Mastgard chipped a low corner kick over Noel Miller and into the back of the net for the Sharks.
  • The Sharks doubled their lead just minutes later when Chalma Silva gathered a ball in the box and muscled her way into a shooting position, before putting a bouncing ball into the side netting.
  • Rollins cut into the advantage with a beautifully worked set piece.  Lana Truong laid a ball off for Chynna McGirt who drilled the ball over the charging Sharks defense and into the top corner of the net.
  • The Tars could not sustain the momentum, and the Shark regained their two goal lead just before the break.  Dejah Holman ran down the side of the field before putting a cross into a wide open Dani Correa, who tapped the ball into the Rollins goal.
Second Half
  • McGirt secured her brace 20 minutes into the second period.  Tayla Duffy lofted a corner into the six yard box.  McGirt got her head to the ball and forced a save from the Nova Southeastern goal keeper.  However, the ball fell back to the feet of the Tars senior forward, and she slotted the ball home to make the score 3-2.
  • Rollins sustained pressure created a number of chances, but could not generate an equalizer.  Rollins ended the second 45 minutes with 10 shots, five on target, but only the lone goal.
 
UP NEXT:
The Tars conclude the regular season on Friday, November 5, when they take on Florida Southern in a game that was rescheduled due to inclement weather.  Kickoff against the Mocs is set for 7 p.m.
