Controlling the draw, gave the Jacksonville University women's lacrosse team the advantage to defeated La Salle 16-7 on Wednesday afternoon at D.B. Milne Field.The Dolphins controlled the draw 17-7. 

"One of our main goals is possession," said head coach Mindy McCord. "When you see 17 draws and 16 goals, being able to convert the possessions into goals was very critical to our success on attack today and we had a large distribution of people possessing the ball."

The Dolphins had nine different scorers in the game, including Holly Ventimiglia leading with four goals and two assists off the bench. Sam Bauer led the draw grabbing five of the controls. Defensively, Asia Moore garnered 10 saves on 22 shots.

"Asia had a very poised and consistent day," said coach McCord. "She was surrounded by a really good, steady defensive unit and was able to come up with some great stops with her team defense which created some great scoring opportunities for our team."

The Dolphins held the lead for all but the opening posession. In the first half, six different scorers racked in nine goals. Rachel Aus scored first off a Brittney Orashen assist, followed by a Ventimiglia goal from Abby Remenapp. Alyssa Lazaro added an unassisted goal. The Dolphins continued on a four-goal run after La Salle broke up the run with a single goal.
