After nearly an hour delay, officials were forced to call the game in the 71st minute due to heavy lightning in the area. Because the game had passed the 70th-minute of play it qualified as an official game.
"I think the girls were pretty excited to get the win," UNF head coach Mike Munch said. "With the delay it was kind of anticlimactic, but the girls were still excited. They played well. I thought the effort was outstanding. No one was happy with the effort we put out in our last exhibition with
the very beginning. They did a really good job tonight."
Senior midfielder Tessa Heer secured the win for UNF (1-0-0) when the
Blochl started the scoring play by finding Brewer in front of the goal. Brewer then headed the Blochl pass to Heer who converted the pass into the game-winning goal.
"All three players really did an outstanding job," Munch said. "Ali did a nice job of finding Christine and then Christine made a great pass to Tessa who was able to turn it into a goal. It was a really nice goal. It won't go down in the box score, but Elizabeth Gowan also played a big role in us scoring that goal. She had got behind the defense for the second time in a row and they had to foul her to try and prevent a goal. That set up the free kick for Ali."
UNF freshman goalkeeper Rachael Howard recorded the shutout win for the Lady Ospreys. Howard finished the match with one save.
UNF outshot the Cowgirls 7-2.
The Lady Ospreys will return to action on Sunday when they travel to
