In 2008, the Dolphins posted double-digit wins for the second consecutive year with a 12-9-1 overall record and had a 7-2 record in A-Sun play. JU rallied in the final minutes at the A-Sun Tournament to down Lipscomb and Campbell to claim the championship title and a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

In the NCAA Tournament, the Dolphins played comeback kids again by rallying for a 4-3 overtime win at Louisville before falling to eventual national runner up North Carolina.

Peak, who coaches the goalies and the back line, helped the Dolphins to six shutout wins and had five defensive starters earn all-conference honors. Goalie Joey Sanchez recorded a career year in the nets after posting personal bests in saves (68) and goals against average (1.19). Sanchez was in the nets for all six shutouts, which ranks second on the JU single-seasons lists.

In 2007, Peak helped guide the Dolphins to a 7-2 conference mark and finishing 11-7-2 overall (the fourth-highest win total in school history). Under Peak's tutelage, freshman goalie Matt Gilman posted six wins (four of them shutouts) and 31 saves en route to earning second team all-conference honors.
