CLICK FOR BOXSCORE

Daytona Beach, Fla.--Senior Jessica Garcia scored the game winning goal and added an assist to become Embry-Riddle University's all-time leading scorer as the Eagles rallied for a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind-win over Rollins College on Thursday night.

The Eagles went up early in the first half on a goal from freshman Lindsey Evans, who rifled a shot from 18 yards out into the top right corner. Katrina Morgan doubled the Eagles' lead going into the break with her fourth goal of the year, an unassisted marker that slipped out of the reach of Tars goalie Stephanie Woelfel.

The Tars came back 18 minutes into the second half with a goal from Ashley Hunsberger. Jeri Ostuw sent a corner into the box, and Hunsberger came out of the scrum to put it past ERAU goalie Stephanie Taylor. It was the first goal the Eagles had given up all year.

Lindsey Giblin tied the game for Rollins just eight minutes later with a penalty kick, and Ostuw's unassisted marker just 1:07 after that gave the Tars the lead.

The Eagles, who had several near misses on net early in the first half, re-tied the game when Sarah Hirst floated a pass to Kristen Phelps, who beat Woelfel for her fourth goal of the season. Garcia, who had tied Lisa Lundgren ('02) with an assist on Evans' goal, put away the game winner with an unassisted marker.

"At halftime, Hirsty was talking about a through ball on a throw-in, pulling one forward out and having the far forward running in, and that's exactly what happened," said Garcia.

ERAU goalie Stephanie Taylor made three saves, none bigger than the snuff of Jacquelyn Parsons' breakaway attempt late in the game.

"I think we learned a couple lessons tonight. I thought we showed exceptional character once we went down. I thought Sarah Hirst changed the game. She really fought us back into it." said head coach Dan Blank. "To have five freshmen and three sophomores on the field when you're down a goal to come back is amazing."

ERAU will next play on September 27, hosting Flagler.
