SCOUTING JACKSONVILLE
Jacksonville is 4-4 so far on the season. The Dolphins are coming off a dominant 18-3 win over a conference opponent and in-state foe in Stetson.

Jacksonville started the season 0-4, but have since picked up four straight wins including a win over then No. 18 Navy. The Dolphins were picked to finish second in the Preseason ASUN Coaches Poll behind Coastal Carolina.

This season, Jacksonville is averaging 11.1 goals per game. The Dolphins are allowing just 9.3 goals per game defensively which leads the ASUN and ranks tied for 14th nationally. Jacksonville has been especially stingy defensively in the fourth quarter as they are allowing an average of just two goals per game in the fourth quarter.

Jacksonville is led offensively by freshman attacker Shae Hagans who has a team leading 16 goals and 21 points on the year.
