This significant win not only adds another tally to their column but also marks an impressive seventh consecutive victory in the ASUN conference.
A Streak to Remember
With this latest triumph, the Dolphins now boast an overall record of 13-7, alongside a shiny 7-1 conference record. It’s essential to note that this win streak is the longest Jacksonville has enjoyed since the 2009-10 season, making every game feel like a step closer to history. The team’s performance on the road has also been commendable, as they’ve pulled off four consecutive wins away from home turf, showing that they thrive no matter where they play.
Scoring Power
As the game unfolded, it became clear that the Dolphins were on a mission. The team’s incredible scoring output of 87 points was a highlight, marking their best performance since the start of conference play. Leading the charge was none other than Robert McCray V, who, recognized as the preseason ASUN Player of the Year, topped the scoreboard with a remarkable 24 points. He showcased his shooting skills by sinking 4 of 8 from beyond the arc.
But it wasn’t just McCray shining; Kendall Munson also stepped up, scoring a career-high 16 points and snagging six rebounds. Equally impressive was Jakari Spence, who matched Munson’s score of 16 and contributed significantly with 9 out of 11 successful free throws, adding seven rebounds and seven assists to his stats. This trio was unstoppable and set the stage for a Dolphin victory.
Rebounding Domination
Another aspect of this thrilling win was Jacksonville’s rebounding prowess, as they dominated the boards, outrebounding Queens 44-34 overall. Among those, the Dolphins secured 31 defensive rebounds, which allowed them to maintain control throughout the match. Stephon Payne III chipped in with seven boards, while McCray and Zach Bell each contributed five, showcasing the team’s all-around effort on the glass.
Strong Start and Key Moments
The Dolphins started the game on fire, racing to a 23-12 lead after McCray sank a three-pointer. This momentum built as they extended their lead to 30-18, putting pressure on Queens early. However, the Royals managed to bounce back in the second half and briefly took the lead, providing just the kind of drama that keeps fans on the edge of their seats.
In a crucial moment, Zimi Nwokeji stepped up, sinking three consecutive three-pointers that turned the tide back in Jacksonville’s favor. This barrage of points not only showcased the Dolphins’ heart but also reaffirmed their offensive strategy when it counts the most.
Looking Ahead
Now sitting firmly at the top of the ASUN conference standings, the Dolphins are preparing for their next matchup against FGCU on January 29. The team’s confidence is palpable, and with such a stellar run, there’s much anticipation surrounding the upcoming game.
