Spartans Set To Entertain Nation’s No. 10 Team
TAMPA, Fla. - The University of Tampa softball team is set to host Sunshine State Conference leader and national No. 10 Rollins College in a weekend series at the UT Softball Field.
The three-game series will start on Friday with a 7 p.m. contest between the SSC's top two teams. The series will wrap up with a Saturday doubleheader, which is slated for noon.
The Tars own an overall record of 29-4, including an 8-1 SSC mark. Rollins is coming off consecutive sweeps of Lynn and Nova Southeastern as its lone conference loss came to Florida Southern.
Tampa is currently 18-10 and 9-3 in league play as it dealt Saint Leo a sweep last week. The Spartans are winners of nine of its last 10 contests and have won seven straight at home.
Rollins took two of three from Tampa in 2009, though UT owns a 36-32 advantage in the all-time series.
