  • The Florida Southern men will host its first home meet of the 2022-23 season after cheering on the women's team in their home meet a couple of weeks ago. Last weekend, the Mocs participated in the Shark Invitational, hosted by Nova Southeastern University, and placed second out of six teams behind the University of Tampa. The defending SSC Champions will look to improve their reps and preparation against a good Rollins team. Florida Southern men's team was highlighted with first-place finishes for Brandon Wilson (100 Back) and Matteo Zampese (100 breast).
  • Despite losing six seniors to graduation, the defending Sunshine State Conference champions look forward to another big year for many returners, including six NCAA qualifiers from last year's squad. Zampese highlights the 2022-23 Moccasin roster, who returns after a great SSC and NCAA Championship run in the breaststroke and relay competitions. Zampese, also named a CoSIDA Academic All-American, had five All-American honors at the NCAA finals, including a fifth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke. At the SSC Championships, Zampese won the 200 IM, and top three finishes in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, and 2100 freestyle. The All-SSC First Team winner set several school records and helped the men's team place fifth overall at the NCAA Championships, the best finish since the 2017-18 season.
  • In short-distance events, the Mocs return Kyle Micallef, an All-SSC Second Team selection and FSC record holder in the 50 and 100 freestyle. Micallef placed eighth in the NCAA 50 free finals and finished with six All-American honors. The Melbourne, Australia native has continued to impress the field and set a new SSC record in the 50 free last season with a time of 19.59. Senior Elder Oliveira, an All-SSC First Team selection last year will cover many of the mid-distance events for the Mocs, after five All-American honors at the NCAA finals and a fantastic 2021-22 season to help the Mocs win the SSC Championship and a fifth-place finish at NCAA Championships.
  • The Rollins men will have its first meet of the 2022-23 season against the Mocs. Junior Harold Lockhart leads the men's team, after winning two NCAA titles in last year's championships. Lockhart was named the SSC Swimmer of the Year for his accolades and became the first Tar to be named First Team All SSC last year. Rollins had a program-best fourth-place finish at the SSC Championships last year and Chance Ricca was named to the Honorable Mention All-SSC team.
  • The Florida Southern women will have their second home meet of the season after opening the year against the University of Arkansas. At the Shark Invitational, FSC women finished third of six teams. On day one of the meet, Erin McCann had top ten finishes in the 400 medley relay, 400 free, and 200 free relay. Day two of the meet was highlighted by Olivia Miles with top-eight finishes in the 1000 free and 400 IM. In the 200 free, McCann finished 10th in the 200 free, with Maja Eriksson right behind in 11th.
  • Last season the Mocs had their best season in recent years and return many from last year's squad, having only graduated three student-athletes. Each of the seven NCAA Championship qualifiers from the 2022 season returns after placing 26th at the NCAA finals, the best finish under Robins. Junior Jazzy Hoffmann is one of those qualifiers, with a great performance throughout the year, including an SSC Swimmer of the Week selection. Hoffmann led the Mocs in sprints last season qualifying for the 50 and 100 freestyle NCAA events, breaking school records along the way. The Atlanta, Ga. native was an All-SSC First Team selection, SSC 100 free champion, and earned three All-American honors last season.
  • Florida Southern women's team finished third at the 2021-22 SSC Championships behind many great performances by veterans of FSC swimming. Allie Brinton, a junior from Jacksonville, Fla., qualified for the NCAA finals her freshman year and was one of the selections for relays in the NCAA finals last season. Rachel Cunningham, Anya Bogdanova, Janie Davis, and Maja Eriksson are returning sophomores joining Angelina Fazzino, Genevieve Kennedy, Molly Kennedy, Alizee Pelletier, and Kennidi TenEyck as last year's freshman class. Brooke Brennan, Morgan Champagne, Hoffmann, Michalek, Peck, and Stephanie Suarez represent this year's junior class. to Seniors on the team joining McCann include Annalise Eisold, Morgan Misenar, and Masha Rezhylo.
  • The Rollins women will also have its first meet of the 2022-23 season against the Mocs. A similar story for the women as the men, the Tars placed fifth at the SSC Championships and were led by Beatriz Olivieri, in her third NCAA Championship appearance. Olivieri was also named Second Team All-SSC, the first such award of her career. Despite losing Olivieri to graduation, the Tars are still a strong contender in the SSC and consistently nationally ranked.
  • HISTORY: Both the men's and women's teams have faced the Tars several times over the course of dual meets and post-season competition. On the women's side, the Mocs have won eight straight meets against the Tars, with the men only meeting the Mocs twice, both wins for Florida Southern. Despite the different dual meets versus postseason competition in a large pool of teams, Florida Southern and Rollins will remain a great rivalry.

  • Opponent: Atlantis
  • Date | Time: Oct. 15, 2022 | 7:00 PM
  • Location: Lakeland, Fla. | Berend Field | Senior Night
  • Records: Florida Southern 9-1-3, 5-1-1 SSC | Atlantis 1-6-1
  • Florida Southern took sole possession of first place in the SSC with last night's 2-1 win over Eckerd. The Mocs have had an exceptional season thus far and continue to impress their opponents with their offensive prowess. Lindsey Meyer scored in the first 10 minutes of the game against Eckerd, before the Tritons equalized in the first half. A clutch corner kick by Caitlyn Lowery hit off the head of Morgan Collica for the game-winning goal and massive win. The nine wins and five conference wins is the best record for the Mocs since the 2010 season, with another three games left in Florida Southern's season.
  • A conference-best 35 goals this season, the Mocs are averaging 2.69 goals a game, with their opponent averaging 0.69. Florida Southern has a deep roster with 12 different goal scorers, but C. Lowery remains atop with eight goals and five assists this year. Her 18 shots on goal is tied for first in the conference and she remains tied with Marie Myhrvold Seim from Embry-Riddle for goals this season (eight). FSC has three of the top five spots in assists, with C. Lowery leading with five, Meyer with four, and Anita Vera with four.
  • In goal for the Mocs, Jenny Staten and the strong defense contribute to the few shots and goals that Florida Southern has faced this year, yet Staten continues to be one of the best in the conference with a 0.811 save percentage in her eight games. She has four shutouts this season and 30 saves. As a team, Florida Southern has only allowed nine goals all year and 0.69 average per game.
  • Atlantis heads to Lakeland for an exhibition match for the Mocs, but still a great opportunity for both teams to utilize their full roster. The Atlanteans are members of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association to start this season and join a group of small colleges and be in contention for their divisional championships. Atlantis has played eight games this year, with their last game a 15-0 loss to Nova Southeastern. As a team, they have scored five goals this season and remain a growing team. Although a newer opponent, Florida Southern hopes to give many athletes an opportunity to play for their Senior Night.
  • HISTORY: Neither team has faced the other in its history, with Atlantis a newer program. The game will not count toward Florida Southern's overall record or season statistics, being played as an exhibition match, but will be an opportunity to play many on the roster and continue to improve before their remaining three games of the regular season.

  • As a team, the Mocs have scored 16 goals this season compared to their opponents who have scored 17 goals. In the net, AJ Pearce is holding down in between the poles with 48 saves. Individually, Tophoven is leading the Mocs with 12 goals, followed by Carr with two goals and Mathias Kjolner and Dino Leddie with one apiece.
  • Tophoven is sitting atop, not at top, the conference in shots on goal with 20, while he is leading with 12 goals'.
