JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Dolphins women's soccer team opened with an ASUN win to start conference play for the second straight season, defeating Queens 6-0 in dazzling fashion.

The team's win was the largest margin of victory in a conference game since 2005.

Starting off strong, Alicia Rey Perez netted a pair of goals in the fifth minute to start the scoring outburst. In the 34^th minute, Manuela Restrepo netted one of her own to give the 'Phins a 3-0 lead that they took in the halftime break.

Opening the second half, Jacksonville again started blazing fast with a goal by Olivia Peal in the 47^th minute, getting an assist from Restrepo.

Madelyn Radtke got in on the scoring action in the 64^th minute, netting a ball played in by Georgina Spraggon. Juliette Lucas finished things off with a quick goal in the 79^th behind an assist from Layla Garcia-Moreno.

Rey Perez's night was her strongest in a Dolphin unform, earning her first brace of the season. Her five goals tie Restrepo for a team best.

Restrepo had her second two-assist night of the season, her first since the team's season opening win over Edward Waters. 

Jacksonville dominated in every statistical category, leading Queens in shots 16-4. JU put up nine shots in the first half to Queens' two and seven in the second half.

Garcia-Moreno and Rey Perez each tallied a pair of shots on net which led the team. After the first night of conference play both Restrepo and Rey Perez are tied for second place in the ASUN in goals (five).

In terms of overall goals this season, Jacksonville leads the conference with 24 total. Jacksonville also leads the league in overall assists (18). 

Minding the net, Pia Bozic played 61 minutes, making a single save. Freshman Athena Zuluri came on in relief and played the final almost 30 minutes. JU's combined shutout was the second such game of the season.

Under head coach Ryan Moon, in his second season leading the Dolphins, the team's put up their most goals scored in a single game in conference play. The win was the largest margin of victory in conference play in recent memory, surpassing a 3-0 win over NJIT in 2015 and a 3-0 win over UNF in 2014.

"I think it was just a good all-around performance," Moon said. "We defended really well tonight. We dealt with everything thrown our way safely. Also, we had the composure to play defense. We got it done going forward too. It was really important, helpful to score goals early. That helped us take some pressure off and play free. Getting that third gave us that extra bit too to keep going."

Jacksonville returns to the friendly confines of Southern Oak Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 21 to face off against West Georgia at 1 p.m.
