WINTER PARK, Fla. – Finlay Prain's goal in the 10
th minute was all Rollins College would need in a 2-0 win over Flagler College in a NCAA Division II Tournament third round match Sunday afternoon at Cahall-Sandspur Field.
Rollins, the No. 5 seed, improved to 12-4-5 and advanced to the national quarterfinal round where it will face the winner of the Mississippi College-Lynn University match.

th minute for the Tars.
Kilian Vallant turned in a clean sheet as he recorded three saves.
