After a low-scoring first half, the Saints came back in the second looking like a new team in their first win of the season Tuesday, Nov. 22, against Webber International University.

The first points of the game were not scored until almost two minutes into the game when Shelbi Lindsey, a forward for Flagler College, sank a 3-pointer. Lindsey led the team in scoring with 17 points.

Senior defensive specialist Laura Beth Lancaster transferred from Georgia Southern after her freshman year and has thrived for the Saints since then.

“The coaches, players and even the faculty at this school are all behind me and that’s a great feeling,” Lancaster said. “I have become close with not only the members of the volleyball program here but of many other sports teams as well. It’s hard to say goodbye, but I am grateful for all of the memories and opportunities I’ve had here.”

The Flagler College men’s soccer team played its final game of the season Saturday night as they lost to Lynn University in the NCAA Division II Men’s Soccer Tournament Quarterfinals. It was a close game with a lot of scoring chances being recorded by each team, but Lynn edged out Flagler in penalty kicks winning 4-2.

As rain began to fall about an hour before the match started, it was clear that neither team was affected by the slick conditions. The goalkeepers prepared for skipping balls during warm-ups, but the rain stopped just before kickoff which made shots on the ground less of a problem.
