JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- Jacksonville senior attackman Nicky Brown and junior faceoff specialist Drew Rippeon both took home Atlantic Sun Player of the Week awards, taking Offensive Player of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week honors respectively.

The duo helped the Dolphins to a 16-10 win over reigning ASUN conference champions Air Force this past Saturday.

Rippeon was a stalwart at the line, winning 75% of his draws and grabbing a season-high 10 ground balls. The faceoff specialist is one of the best at his position in the country, winning north of 58% of all faceoffs taken this season.

Brown etched his name in the JU record book in the win over the Falcons. He tied the school's single-game scoring record with 11 points, becoming just the third Dolphin to record at least 10 points in a single game.

He scored four goals and tied another JU program record with seven assists. He scored or assisted on 68.75% of the Dolphins' goals Saturday as Jacksonville started the ASUN season with a victory over the reigning conference champions.

Brown won ASUN Offensive Player of the Week once last season and earned second-team All-Conference honors last year. He's the first Dolphin to take home the award this season. 

The Dolphins return to Rock Stadium for the second game of conference play this Saturday as they host the Queens Royals. Opening faceoff is slated for noon.
