The Dolphins enter the tournament as the No. 5 seed and will face No. 4 North Alabama at 12:00 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville enters the postseason on the verge of history, needing just one more win to set a new program record for victories in a single season.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins have also produced one of the most balanced seasons in program history, with six individual seasons ranking among the top marks at JU. Katie Martinez<\/a> (19 wins) and Morgan Perry<\/a> (18 wins) lead the way, while multiple Dolphins recorded 16-win seasons across the lineup.<\/p>\n Claire Mrukowski<\/a> and Megan Hair<\/a> have handled the No. 1 pairing all season, combining for 32 wins at the top of the lineup. Mrukowski earned First Team All-ASUN honors, while Hair was named Second Team All-ASUN and to the All-Freshman Team after posting 16 wins, tied for the most by a freshman in program history.<\/p>\n At the No. 5 spot, Katie Martinez<\/a> and Maddie Fiedler<\/a> have been one of Jacksonville’s most reliable pairs. Martinez, a Second Team All-ASUN selection, leads the team with 19 wins, while Fiedler added 16 wins and earned All-Freshman Team honors. The duo also picked up ASUN Pair of the Week honors earlier this season after a 4-0 weekend at North Florida.<\/p>\n Jacksonville’s opening-round matchup also presents an opportunity to break through, as the Dolphins look for their first win in program history against North Alabama.<\/p>\n How to Follow
