The Men's Basketball team has had a successful season overall. The boys are currently 17th in the final regular season poll and are on their way to compete in the Sunshine State Conference Tournament this week.
The Tars were ranked 13th in the conference with a 23-5 record. However, after a loss against Eckerd last Saturday the team was bumped down to 17th. Fortunately this is still impressive standings and the Tars hold high hopes for the rest of the season.
For the upcoming SSC Tournament, the Tars hold the number 2 seed and will go head to head against Tampa on March 3 at 7:30 p.m.
MEN'S LACROSSE:
Congratulations Men's Lacrosse! Since the start of the lacrosse team, the Tars have never had a conference win until now by beating out Wingate University this past Monday.
The Tars will get back to work on March 5 when they will compete against Pfeiffer University. The game is at home and will begin at 3 p.m.
BASEBALL:
Stephen Hiscock of the Rollins Men's Baseball team was announced the Sunshine State Conference Pitcher of the Week. Also, Joey Manning earned the title of Player of the Week.
After the opening game of the Conference Tournament, against St. Leo, their standings rose to 11-5 and 3-0 in the SSC.
The boys are preparing to play 12 games in 13 days which includes the 62nd Annual Baseball Week. Good luck guys!
WOMEN'S GOLF:
After some play in the Florida Southern Lady Moc Classic, the Rollins Women's Golf team is standing in 2nd place with scores of 311-304.
As of now, the school beating out Rollins is Nova Southeastern. However, play will continue this week and hopefully the Women's Golf team can keep up the good work and find a first place position.
MEN'S TENNIS:
Jeff Morris of the Men's Tennis team was named the Sunshine State Conference Tennis Player of the Week this past Monday.
Morris plays at the number one position in both singles and doubles. Rollins will head back to the tennis courts this week in hopes of keeping up an already impressive record.
WOMEN'S LACROSSE:
The team has shown great talent, intensity and ability all season, crushing a number of opponents in their path. The team looks to crush Notre Dame of Ohio March 4, and if they maintain the hustle and determination they have shown all season, there is no doubt they will take down any competitor that comes their way.
MEN'S GOLF:
After J.D. Guiney (Class of 2011) was named SCC Golfer of the Week and the team moved up 4 slots in the national poll, the team is confident going into their next tournament: The Palmas Del Mar Intercollegiate tournament held in San Juan Puerto Rico, March 8-10. Buena suerte, Tars!
WOMEN'S TENNIS:
Only suffering two losses this season, the Women's Tennis team is creaming their competition, match after match. March 4 and 5 the ladies play home against California and West Florida. Then they are off to San Antonio, Texas to play Incarnate Word. Best of luck to you ladies!
Overall, Rollins sports teams have had an impressive week and show no signs of their seasons slowing down or letting up. The season in general has been strong as well. If you have not had the chance to go out and support our teams, do not miss your chance to see how hard your fellow classmates are playing. Keep it up, Tars!
