JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The University of North Florida men's soccer team finished out Atlantic Sun Conference play on Sunday, tying Mercer 1-1. The Ospreys now hold a 4-10-2 record and finish league action with a 1-5-1 mark.
David Pollard netted the Ospreys' only goal of the game in the 16th minute. Martin Schuhte assisted on the goal.
With UNF leading 1-0 after the first half, the Bears knotted the game at one goal apiece only six and a half minutes into the second period. Omar Liendo scored the unassisted goal for Mercer.
Neither team was able to score again in regulation. A red card against Robert Adamson with 30 seconds remaining in the second half left the Bears down a man for the extra period.
