Tampa, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern women's soccer team (4-2-0) fell to the No. 5 Tampa Spartans (7-0-0), 3-0, Saturday, evening at Pepin Stadium, in a non-conference battle. The loss ended the Sharks three-game win streak.
In the first half the Sharks were on the defensive, as the Spartans outshot NSU, 9-0. The backline for NSU held strong, until UT finally broke through in the 44th minute, on a shot through traffic from about eight yards out. The shot deflected off of a body and into the net.
Sandra Rolon (Jr., San Juan, P.R.) kept the first half close, making a couple quick reaction saves. Rolon finished the half with three saves.
