FT. MYERS, Fla. – The Jacksonville Dolphins suffered their first conference loss of the season at FGCU Thursday, falling 5-0. Jacksonville moved to 6-4-1, 3-1 overall with the loss, the team's first in five games.

JU had two chances late to put points on the board, with the team awarded a pair of penalty kicks in the waning minutes of the contest. Laura Di Mascio took the pair with the first finding the arms of the Eagles' keeper and the second careening off the top crossbar. 

Di Mascio tied Olivia Peal for shots with two. Alicia Rey Perez led the team with three shots. In total, Jacksonville amassed 11 shots to FGCU's 13.
