The Jacksonville University women’s lacrosse team is in the ASUN Championship game again after a rare absence last year.
Ainsley Scruggs, Maeve Brennan and Maddi Santini scored three goals each and Scruggs had four assists as the No. 2-seeded Dolphins shook off an hour-long weather delay at halftime to rout No. 3 Liberty 17-3 on April 30 at Rock Stadium to earn a berth in the title game at 1 p.m. on May 2.
JU (12-5) will play top-seeded Delaware (13-4), which beat No. 4 Lindenwood 10-4 in the other semifinal. The championship game will be live-streamed on ESPN+, with the winner earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Jacksonville University women's lacrosse players celebrate their 17-3 ASUN Tournament semifinal victory over Liberty on April 30 at Rock Stadium in Jacksonville. The Dolphins will play Delaware on May 2 for the ASUN title at 1 p.m.
The Dolphins had a streak of 11 consecutive championship game berths snapped last year when it lost in the semifinals 11-10 to Coastal Carolina ― one year after the Chanticleers interrupted JU’s streak of six consecutive tournament championships with a 10-9 victory.
The difference this year is that Jacksonville did not win the ASUN regular season title for the first time in seven seasons. Delaware, playing in the ASUN for the first year, nipped the Dolphins 14-13 at home on March 26, outscoring JU 7-2 over the final 21 minutes to end the Dolphins’ 19-game regular-season conference winning streak.
The championship game is scheduled for 1 p.m. on May 2.
JU earned their spot in the championship by defeating Liberty 17-3 in the semifinals.
