CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Jacksonville Dolphins are back in the win column after a five-set (23-25, 25-20, 19-25, 28-26, 15-9) win over the Queens Royals Sunday afternoon. JU has now won seven-straight matches against Queens and all but one match in series history.<\/p>\n
Senior setter Jade Cuya Cobos<\/a> helped lead the Dolphins to victory with the most productive match of her career. She led the team with 36 assists and 23 digs, both comfortably career highs to spark the JU win.<\/p>\n Freshman Jaylyn Tuiasosopo<\/a> and sophomore Kathryn Adler<\/a> led the offense with 12 kills each.<\/p>\n Set One

\n Tuyo scored an ace to put the ‘Phins up 22-21, but Queens won four of the final five points to take the first set.<\/p>\n
\nJacksonville pulled ahead early in the second set looking to tie the match at one set apiece. With the score tied at five, the Dolphins took seven of the next eight points. After the Royals one a point back, Jacksonville survived a long rally with the first of back-to-back blocks heading into the technical timeout.

\n The hosts reached set point and match point, but Tuiasosopo kept JU going. The set moved into extra points as the teams fended off set points. Junior Haley Yount<\/a> rose high to hammer home a kill and put the ‘Phins on set point. After a loose pass off the serve, Yount smashed the free ball to force a fifth set.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis was Jacksonville’s first five-set win of the season and the sixth under head coach Alicia Manguiat.
\n\tAdler tied her season and career-high in kills.
\n\tCuya Cobos’s 36 assists are the most by a JU player since Emily Hodson against Stetson on Nov. 14, 2024.
\n\tFreshman libero Selah Simien<\/a> set a new career high with 17 digs.
\n\tKrieger finished with double-digit kills (10) for the first time in her career.
\n\tYount finished with eight total blocks (seven assists, one solo). She has eight total blocks in back-to-back ASUN matches.

\n“It wasn’t the prettiest win, but I’m proud of the fight we found at the end. Jade stepped up and set a great match. Jaylyn also came through in some big moments.\u00a0Glad to be heading home with a win and looking forward to next weekend at home!”<\/p>\n
