How It Happened
 
* Rollins jumped out to a 2-0 lead after scoring a pair of goals in the first two minutes of the game.  Senior Devon Felix (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./Lower Moreland) connected on the Tigers' first goal to make it a one-goal game, but Rollins responded in a big way scoring seven straight goals over a seven-minute span.
 
* Holy Family halted the run with a goal by senior Vanessa Pagliei (Linwood, N.J./Mainland Regional) at the 18:42 mark that made the score 9-2 in favor of the Tars.  Rollins then went on to score six unanswered goals to close out the first half and take a 15-2 lead heading into halftime.
 
* Prior to the start of the second half the game was halted for just over an hour due to lightning and rain.  When play resumed and second half was able to start, Rollins came out and scored 10 straight goals to take a commanding 25-2 lead.  The Tars held the Tigers scoreless until the final four minutes when Holy Family came away with the game's final two scores.  Freshman Tatceyana Pulley (Edgewater Park, N.J./Burlington City) tallied a goal at the 3:16 mark and Pagliei scored her second goal of the game and team-leading ninth of the season in the final seconds.
 
News and Notes
 
* Felix's goal in the first half marked her 95th career point.  She'll enter her next game five points shy of 100 for her career.
 
* Sophomore goalkeeper Jenna Heath (Philadelphia, Pa./New Foundations Charter School) tied her career-high with 11 saves in net after facing 43 total shots by the Tars.  It marked the third time this season that Heath has totaled 11 saves in a game.
 
* Kaitlin Young led the Tars with four goals as Rollins had eight players score two or more goals in the game. Taylor Kienle led the game with 10 draw controls.
