NSCAA Division II National Poll: Week 4

WINTER PARK, Fla. (September 29, 2009) - Climbing the NSCAA Division II National Poll one notch to sit at No. 8, the Rollins women's soccer team enters into their fourth week of regular season action with an overall mark of 6-1-1, and 1-0 in Sunshine State Conference play.

Rollins enters into this week's matchups with plenty of momentum off of a 3-2 victory over SSC rival, and conference preseason favorite, Saint Leo last week. Sophomore defender Charlotte Murrell lifted the Tars to victory with the game winning goal in their first SSC contest of the season with a goal in the 73rd minute of action, and played a solid defensive game for Rollins to hold the Lions to just three shots and two shots on goal all game.

The Tars hit the pitch in their first contest of the week on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. when they travel to Melbourne, Fla. to take on No. 16 Florida Tech in a game that holds not only conference, but regional and national implications as well.

The last time out against FIT, then-second seeded Rollins picked up a big 4-0 victory over sixth seed Florida Tech in the second round of NCAA Division II South Region action on November 16, 2008. Four Tars put goals on the scoreboard, with two tallying assists while Dillingham collected five saves and shut the Panthers out of scoring action. Rollins dominated play throughout the entire contest as they led in shots 19-11, shots on goal 13-6, and corner kicks 5-0.

After today's matchup, the Tars return home to host Eckerd College in their third conference game of the season, but Rollins first looks to drop FIT and stay perfect on their conference mark. Fans will be able to catch all of the action of both contests live on the Tars Sports Network at RollinsSports.com.
