JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- The Dolphins made it three wins in their last four games, blowing past the Detroit Mercy Titans on their home field, 18-4. Jacksonville didn't allow a goal until the second half and had 14 different goal scorers.

Senior Jack Taylor led the Dolphins in points once again, potting a pair of goals and dishing four assists. It took less than 90 seconds for Taylor to put Jacksonville in front, and it was all JU from that moment on. 

The midfield drove the ship in the first quarter. Junior Henry Fleckner passed it off to freshman Parker Addison for a hammer of a shot from range. Senior Tate Jones scored a pair, first a solo effort off the dodge then dunking a feed from Taylor.

Fleckner took it himself to close the first quarter with the Dolphins leading 5-0.

The second quarter with a pair of juice goals as it was all Jacksonville all half. The Dolphins broke loose in transition, as senior Nicky Brown got the ball to sophomore long-stick midfielder Lucas Fraser for a goal.

With the shot clock winding down towards zero, Taylor fired what looked like a desperation shot towards the goal. Instead, the ball found the stick of Brown who potted the goal at the shot clock buzzer. 

Senior Drew Kessenich potted a goal against his former team, then Taylor got his second game. Then the underclassmen took over the game to close out the half. 

Jones dodged around the crease and shot a pass across to freshman Zane Czeschin for a goal. Then Czeschin turned playmaker to feed sophomore Connor Sydnor for his second career goal. Czeschin closed the half in style, taking a pause on the high wing before firing a low-to-high laser into the back of the net.

The Dolphins allowed their first goal of the day one minute into the second half. The Titans added a second before another long Jacksonville run. Sophomore Daylin John-Hill dunked it on the doorstep after a perfect feed from Taylor, then Sydnor took it himself for another goal.

Junior William Krupsky ended the quarter in style, converting a man-up opportunity for Jacksonville. 

The fourth quarter belonged to the Dolphins as Jacksonville closed out the win. Sophomore Jack Russo scored his fourth goal of the season to keep JU rolling. Detroit Mercy scored two goals in the fourth before a final coda from Jacksonville.

Sophomore defender Keller Holmes sparked transition off the ground and scored the first goal of his college career. Junior Andrew Cowan scored a final goal to close out the JU win.

Head Coach John Galloway
"Today was a team win. I am really proud of the crows and tangos --- our scout group --- for coming in the game and elevating our execution. Keller Holmes was awesome in the second half and scored his first career goal. 

We have a quick turnaround against a tough Navy team that will challenge all of our deficiencies. I look forward to watching this group continue to grow in this short turn."
