Box Score<\/a> JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For just the second time in program history, the Jacksonville University women’s basketball team is going dancing.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins won the Atlantic Sun Championship 66-63 in overtime over the eight-seed Austin Peay Governors Monday night at Jacksonville’s VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. The win caps off a historic moment for the program and secures a bid in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament.<\/p>\n

This is Jacksonville’s second-ever ASUN championship. The Dolphins last cut down the nets in 2015-16 under head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin. The win also tied the winningest season in school history, matching a 24-9 record in 2017-18.<\/p>\n

The win is Jacksonville University’s sixth ASUN team sports championship since 2020. It’s the Dolphins first since Women’s Lacrosse raised the trophy following the 2023 season.<\/p>\n

With their bid to March Madness, the Dolphins will make their second appearance in the big dance. Last time out, Jacksonville earned a 16 seed in the Sioux Falls regional. The Dolphins battled Dawn Staley and the No. 1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks in the first round.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story Links Box Score JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — For just the second time in program history,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-184957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
