thanks to Bridgette Gale, Athletic Media Relations Assistant – Jacksonville University for this press release   DELAND, Fla.—The Jacksonville University women’s lacrosse team is undefeated regular-season conference champions after downing Stetson 14-3 on Friday evening. “It feels good to end the regular season as champions,” said senior Holly Ventimiglia. “As a team, we are disappointed with our shooting percentage and we will be working on that in practice and will definitely be perfecting it for the conference tournament.” Ventimiglia led the team with half of the team’s goals (seven) and an assist, putting her as the goals leader this season. In addition, Brittney Orashen helped fill the stat sheet with two goals, six ground balls, four draw controls and four caused turnovers. The Dolphins started slow, but Ventimiglia scored the first two goals to start Jacksonville’s 4-0 run. Stetson tried to make a comeback with three goals, but Jacksonville countered by finding the back of the net three additional times. The Dolphins entered the half leading 7-3. Jacksonville prevented the Hatters from scoring in the second half and accumulated seven goals from three different players. Ventimiglia contributed four of the goals, Orashen tallied two and Ashtyn Hiron scored once. The Dolphins have a first-round bye in the upcoming Atlantic Sun Conference tournament, which they host at D.B. Milne Field. Jacksonville returns to action on Friday, May 1 at 1 p.m.   Bridgette Gale Athletic Media Relations Assistant Jacksonville University (o):(904)-256-7761 (c): (904)-599-0801
