GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Dolphins battled all the way to the end against the No. 5 Florida Gators, ultimately falling 12-11 at Donald R. Dizney Stadium Wednesday afternoon. Jacksonville outscored UF 6-3 in the second half before coming up just short in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville (9-5, 5-1 ASUN) was led by junior Maeve Brennan<\/a> who scored three goals and provided one assist.<\/p>\n The Gators scored first, but the first quarter belonged to the Dolphins. Senior Olivia Johnson<\/a> got JU on the board, then senior Maddi Santini<\/a> scrapped her way to the goal for another finish. Brennan potted an extra-player opportunity to put Jacksonville up 3-1.<\/p>\n Brennan turned quarterback, finding junior midfielder Julia Nicholson<\/a> who made a spectacular catch to fire away in front of the goal to cap off a four-goal Dolphin run. The Gators scored one more at the end of the quarter, but JU took a 4-2 lead into the second period.<\/p>\n Florida went on its biggest run of the game in the second, scoring the first seven goals of the period to take a five-goal lead. Freshman Paige Garguilo<\/a> finished a tough shot down the alley to give Jacksonville a spark heading into the half.<\/p>\n The Gators struck first in the second half, scoring three-straight goals to open the third quarter. Despite facing a seven-goal deficit, the Dolphins wouldn’t waver.<\/p>\n Jacksonville turned to sophomore goalie Elia Alewine<\/a>, who would make six second-half saves, allowing no goals during her action.<\/p>\n Hagans powered a shot from range to start the second-half run. Brennan took the ball herself, rolling all the way to the rack and putting a shot past the net-minder. Hagans received the ball on the high righty wing, dancing through the traffic and getting a shot in the goal to cut the deficit to four at the end of the third.<\/p>\n Brennan took another strong solo effort. Junior Jessica Giller<\/a> dodged down the alley, firing a powerful shot with her weaker left hand, leaving the goalie no chance to make a save. Two goal game.<\/p>\n
