UNA led 1-0 early but fell behind 2-1 by intermission. After knotting the score at 2-2 in the 64th minute, the Lions got the winning goal from Roberts with less than five minutes left in regulation.

"It was a game of two very different halves," said UNA head coach Graham Winkworth. "We did not start out well but we changed our system at the half and did a much better job of pressuring them. It was just a hard fought game and our players know they beat a very goof Florida Southern team today."

UNA is now 19-3-1, while Florida Southern ends its season at 12-8-1.

Roberts, a freshman from Plymouth, England and the 2009 Gulf South Conference Player of the Year, put UNA on top in the 24th minute with a goal off an assist from Tassia Augusto.

UNA tied the game at 63:59 when Jamie Takala took a feed from Roberts and pushed it past the FSC goalkeeper. It was Takala's seventh goal of the season and the 15th assist for Roberts.
