Tars Drop Overtime Heartbreaker to Eagles

Rollins dropped a 15-14 contest on Tuesday night

WINTER PARK, Fla. (March 25, 2025) – The 13th-ranked Rollins women's lacrosse team mounted a valiant comeback on Tuesday night but came up just short in a 15-14 double overtime defeat to seventh-ranked Embry-Riddle. The Tars drop to 7-3 overall, 0-1 in SSC play, while the Eagles go to 10-1, 1-0 in conference.
 
Katie Bell led the Tars with four goals while Delanie Abere tallied three goals and two ground balls. Sydney Nickel contributed a goal, an assist, two ground balls, two draw controls, and three caused turnovers. Anya Studebaker (1-1) made seven saves on 14 shots in 33:46 of relief but suffered the defeat in goal.
