A hush fell over the crowd at Donald R. Dizney Stadium. The wind whistled through the net’s white polyester strings.
Brianna Harris stared down the net from a standstill, eager to score. The senior darted towards the Bears’ goalkeeper and launched the yellow ball into the goal to give Florida a 10-0 lead midway through the first half.

Molly Brock controlled 13 draws, helping Jacksonville dominate possession in an upset win over Florida.
On the surface, it might seem like Jacksonville’s 12-11 upset win over then-No. 6 Florida was a fluke. Or maybe it came down to sheer luck. The scoreline was close, and the game’s final 10 minutes were tight and tense.
The Dolphins want you to know that’s not the case.
The stat sheet offers the best evidence, and it’s convincing. Jacksonville dominated the possession battle, owning the ball for more than 40 of the game’s 60 minutes. It won in the circle (19 draws to the Gators’ six), on the ground (ground balls were 35-24) and on net (shots were 31-21), all en route to the first win over a top 10 team in program history.
