JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville senior attackman Nicky Brown<\/a> and junior faceoff specialist Drew Rippeon<\/a> both took home Atlantic Sun Player of the Week awards, taking Offensive Player of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week honors respectively.<\/p>\n The duo helped the Dolphins to a 16-10 win over reigning ASUN conference champions Air Force this past Saturday.<\/p>\n Rippeon was a stalwart at the line, winning 75% of his draws and grabbing a season-high 10 ground balls. The faceoff specialist is one of the best at his position in the country, winning north of 58% of all faceoffs taken this season.<\/p>\n Brown etched his name in the JU record book in the win over the Falcons. He tied the school’s single-game scoring record with 11 points, becoming just the third Dolphin to record at least 10 points in a single game.<\/p>\n He scored four goals and tied another JU program record with seven assists. He scored or assisted on 68.75% of the Dolphins’ goals Saturday as Jacksonville started the ASUN season with a victory over the reigning conference champions.<\/p>\n Brown won ASUN Offensive Player of the Week once last season and earned second-team All-Conference honors last year. He’s the first Dolphin to take home the award this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Dolphins return to Rock Stadium for the second game of conference play this Saturday as they host the Queens Royals. Opening faceoff is slated for noon.
