Ryan Della Rocco Makes History for Jacksonville University Lacrosse

Jacksonville University goalie Ryan Della Rocco is cementing his legacy in his final collegiate season. The graduate student recently earned a spot on the US Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association’s (USILA) national team of the week, marking the first time a Dolphin has received this honor so far this season.

A Historic Performance Between the Pipes

Della Rocco’s selection follows a standout performance where he anchored a defense that set a new program record. In a dominant 14-1 victory, the Dolphins’ defense allowed just one goal, the fewest ever conceded in a single game in Jacksonville University program history.

Consistent Excellence in 2026

This national recognition isn’t an isolated event for the veteran goalie. Earlier in the season, on February 9, Della Rocco was recognized with Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN) Men’s Lacrosse weekly honors, demonstrating a high level of play from the start of the campaign.

Building a Professional Resume

Della Rocco’s current success is built on a foundation of strong previous performances. During his senior year in 2025, he established himself as a reliable starter by appearing in all 14 games. His statistical contributions during that season included:

• Saves: 142
• Save Percentage: 48.6%
• Goals Against Average (GAA): 11.82
