With his second assist on the day, graduate student Jack Dolan broke the Jacksonville Men's Lacrosse career points record, previously held by Eric Applegate.

Head Coach John Galloway's Comments 
"I'm proud of our group for handling adversity again on the road. We had a chance to spend a lot of time together in the airport yesterday, and the guys turned a tough situation into a positive one as we grew closer throughout the weekend. While we had defensive spells through the game, our pace on offense and our energy in between the lines helped us create a big lead. I was also proud of the guys on defense who came in and continue to keep a potent Lowell offense at bay."

"The most important moment was watching Jack Dolan break the program points record early in the first quarter. Jack has played everything from defensive midfield to attack to now QB of our offense at the midfield. He is selfless, determined, and a damn good lacrosse player. Our players are better when he is on the field and I am excited to see who will chase his record next."

"The goalies continue to be a bright spot as well. I thought Luke, Jason and Ryan all played meaningful minutes, and continue to show that we have a goalie bullpen."

"I am excited to get back home and defend our turf next weekend. The last time we played at home, we left alot on the table. I know our guys will be ready to answer the challenge."
