The Dolphins dropped the decision 13-4. “We are excited about our defensive effort as a whole team,” said Head Coach Mindy McCord. “We were able to convert some possessions and counter attack, as well as, get some possessions off the draw and really lead in that game. Our defensive got some key stops in the second half but unfortunately we weren’t able to capitalize off some of their adjustments.” Jacksonville led Stony Brook in four categories. The Dolphins grabbed 18 ground balls, controlled the draw 11-8, caused 12 turnovers and went 100 percent in clears. Offensively, Sally Holbert went 2-for-2 from the field with four ground balls. Defensively, Erika Brager and Brittney Orashen grabbed three ground balls each. Orashen also garnered four of the 11 draw controls. The Dolphins countered the Seawolves 3-0 opening run with a 2-0 run with Danielle Della Rocca’s 20th of the season which was assisted by Orashen. Holbert followed that up with a goal assisted by Della Rocca.  Later in the half, Orashen grabbed an unassisted second goal in the first half to bring the score within four. After halftime, Jacksonville grabbed the first goal just four minutes into the second half. Holbert scored her second goal off a Jess Worcester assist. The Dolphins were unable to secure any goals following the Holbert’s. The Dolphins return to D.B. Milne field as they face Marist College on Friday, March 20 at 1 p.m.   Bridgette Gale Athletic Media Relations Assistant Jacksonville University (o):(904)-256-7761 (c): (904)-599-0801
