It took less than 90 seconds for Taylor to put Jacksonville in front, and it was all JU from that moment on.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The midfield drove the ship in the first quarter.

Instead, the ball found the stick of Brown who potted the goal at the shot clock buzzer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Senior <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-lacrosse\/roster\/drew-kessenich\/7861\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7861\" target=\"_blank\">Drew Kessenich<\/a> potted a goal against his former team, then Taylor got his second game.

The Titans added a second before another long Jacksonville run.

I am really proud of the crows and tangos &#8212; our scout group &#8212; for coming in the game and elevating our execution. <a href=\"https:\/\/judolphins.com\/sports\/mens-lacrosse\/roster\/keller-holmes\/7855\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"7855\" target=\"_blank\">Keller Holmes<\/a> was awesome in the second half and scored his first career goal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have a quick turnaround against a tough Navy team that will challenge all of our deficiencies.
