Rollins scored five unanswered goals to beat Saint Leo 5-0 and clinch the No. 8 seed in next week’s Sunshine State Conference tournament. Yousef Shakweer scored twice, while Shota Fukinishi added two goals and Finlay Prain scored his 16th of the season. The Tars will face top-seeded Florida Tech on Monday in Melbourne.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Rollins 5, Saint Leo 0.
  • Rollins outshot Saint Leo 21-?; Rollins had 21 shots, including 11 on goal.
  • Shakweer and Fukinishi scored 2 goals each; Prain has 16 this season.
  • Rollins finished the regular season 6-6-3 overall and 4-4-2 in conference play.
Yes, But

Saint Leo opened the second half aggressively, taking 6 shots in the first 10 minutes, but none were on target. Rollins’ defense kept the Lions from finding a way back into the game.

State of Play
  • Rollins, Tampa and Palm Beach Atlantic finished tied with 14 conference points; tiebreakers placed Rollins eighth.
  • Prain’s 16 goals tie him for the second-most in a season in program history. One more would give him sole possession of second place.
What's Next

Rollins visits No. 1 seed Florida Tech on Monday, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. The teams drew 3-3 last week after Prain scored with 40 seconds remaining.

Bottom Line

Rollins enters the tournament with momentum and a decisive win, but the next challenge is the top seed—and a rematch that was narrowly even just days ago.
