This Week in Athletics: March 25

March 25, 2026

Greetings #TARnation! Alumni weekend has arrived, and with it, hundreds of proud Tars returning to Winter Park as well as the annual Rollins Sports Hall of Fame ceremony. But before we look ahead, let's recap the last week of action: 

- Men's lacrosse celebrated their senior class in the best way, blowing out the Lynn Fighting Knights in a 17-8 victory. Senior Logan Myers led the way with three goals and an assist, while Aaron Williams, Nate Paulo, Avery Kamuf, and Zachary Blinkoff all added two goals each. In what's becoming a weekly tradition, Brady Greco won 19-23 faceoffs, earning his fourth SSC Specialist of the Week award. 

- Women's lacrosse scored a nice home win over #21 Saint Anselm on Wednesday, winning 15-11. Delanie Abere tallied five goals in the match while Molly Mendes added three goals and two helpers. The Tars took on #5 Embry-Riddle in Daytona last night, but fell just short in their comeback, falling 18-15. Mendes had five goals in the loss. 

- Men's tennis has now won six straight matches with wins over Emporia State and Millenia Atlantic. They also scrimmaged D-1 Brown University on Monday, and did well hanging with the Bears. The Tars have shot up to #11 in the latest ITA national poll.

- Men's golf took sixth place at the Shark Invitational in Ft. Lauderdale, finishing at even par. Clarence Chapman III led the charge, tying for 6th overall with a four-under 209 that included twelve birdies. Shout out to Gustav Ordel who fired a 68 in round two of his first career collegiate tournament. 

- Women's tennis was a winner in their lone match of the week, cruising past St. Thomas (FL) on the orad with a 5-2 victory.  Alyssa Novoa, Nisan Can, and Amina Abduloeva all earned straight set victories in singles. 

- Baseball took the first game of their series at Nova Southeastern by a score of 6-3, but dropped both ends of Saturday's doubleheader. Matt Mateo was solid throughout the weekend,  collecting five hits while raising his season average from .370 to .381. 

- Softball split a midweek doubleheader at Valdosta State, but then dropped all three of their contests at home against Nova Southeastern. 



- The 46th Annual Hal of Fame ceremony will take place on Thursday, March 26 as the opening event of Alumni Weekend. This year's class includes: former men's tennis coach Jim Poling, who led the Tars to the 2001 National Championship; Lee Stroever, who helped men's golf to the 2002 National Championship; waterskier Erika Lang, a three-time tricks Collegiate National Champion who is the reigning WORLD CHAMPION in women's tricks; and Erica Pagliarulo, who helped the Tars women's lacrosse team to back-to-back National semifinal appearances while earning first team All-American honors twice. 

- Women's tennis is at Saint Leo this afternoon before matching up against #11 North Georgia on Sunday at home. The ladies are currently ranked #13 in the ITA national poll. 

- Men's tennis has a similar schedule, facing the #4 Lions on Thursday before taking on the #12 Nighthawks on Sunday. Jay Friedman's boys have vaulted to #11 in the national poll. 

- Baseball looks to get back on track with a weekend series against Lynn. Friday's game will be a fun one as the Tars are teaming up with the City of Winter Park to celebrate 250 years of America with America's past time! In addition to a festive atmosphere, the first 125 fans in the stands will receive a box of Tars-branded Cracker Jacks! 

- Softball is headed to Boca Raton for a three-game set with the Lynn Fighting Knights. 

- Rowing, fresh off their #5 ranking in the CRCA poll, are headed to Sarasota to take part in the annual Saradsota 2K, featuring some of the top programs in the Southeast!

- In a similar vein, the sailing team will head to The U to compete in the SAISA Women's Top 9, an important two day event that will influence the end-of-year rankings. 

- Men's lacrosse looks to continue their winning ways on the road at #17 Saint Leo. The Tars have won six of the last seven against the Lions. 

- Meanwhile, women's lacrosse is hosting the Lions in front of what will be a packed Cahall-Sandspur Field on Saturday at 4pm. The match will feature two of the Top 15 teams in the country. 

- Men's golf is headed to Barry for their final tuneup before the SSC Championship in April. 

- Women's golf is in the same boat, but they will be stopping a bit further north in Boca Raton for the Lynn Invitational.
