Hatters Fall in Season Finale

Stetson lacrosse saw its season come to an end on Sunday as ASUN Conference regular-season champion Jacksonville handed the Hatters a 21-7 defeat at D.B. Milne Stadium in Jacksonville.

The loss completes Stetson's campaign at 4-13 overall and 1-4 in conference play. Jacksonville enters next weekend's ASUN Tournament at 14-3, and 5-0.

Six different players scored goals for the Hatters. Senior Hallie Merz led the way with two in her final game. Rachel Valocchi, Karli Maguire, Riley Reagan, Maddie Holvey and Jaclynn Levy also scored for Stetson.

JU jumped out to an early 3-1 lead but consecutive goals by Maguire and Reagan tied things up with 22:06 remaining in the first half. From that point forward, however, it was all Dolphins.

Jacksonville scored 14 unanswered goals, including 11 straight to make it 14-3 at halftime. Down 17-3, the Hatters stopped the bleeding with back-to-back goals by Merz and Levy but by then it was too late.

While the result didn't go Stetson's way, several Hatters closed their careers by either adding to or reaching record milestones.

After two goals by Merz and a goal and two assists for Reagan, the pair finish the season tied with a single-season program record 53 points. Reagan's 35 assists this season fall one shy of tying the school mark for season assists as well.

Goalie Liza Diamond made 10 save son Sunday, giving her 157 for the season and in the process making her the first player in program history with at least 150 in consecutive seasons.

Maguire finished as the team leader with 33 goals.
