The retirement of University of North Florida softball coach and the end of the careers of four seniors have been postponed thanks to a rainout this past weekend for the Lady Osprey softball team at Campbell. That rainout, however, won't postpone senior day activities Wednesday at the UNF Softball Complex.
Seniors Tori Ahern, Heather Hyde, Ashley Parenteau and Gwen Williams will all play their final home games Wednesday, while Wilmoth will line the field one last time before a doubleheader against Armstrong Atlantic State.
The Lady Ospreys (34-21, 10-6 A-Sun) were originally scheduled to play Alabama State on Wednesday, but will now take on former Peach Belt Conference foe AASU (26-17) after Alabama State pulled out of the doubleheader.
That pair of games begins an important week for UNF, which will also travel to conference frontrunner Florida Gulf Coast as well as in-state foe Stetson.
Schedule
Wednesday vs. Armstrong Atlantic State, 4 p.m. (DH)
Friday at Florida Gulf Coast, 5 p.m. (DH)
Sunday at Stetson, 2 p.m. (DH)

Notables: UNF's matchup with Armstrong Atlantic State will not only feature a pair of games between former conference rivals, but will also pit UNF assistant coach Valeria Silvestrini against her old team … Silvestrini was an all-conference outfielder at AASU in 2004 … Ashley Battaglia led UNF with a .429 batting average last week, while Devyn Findley threw a complete-game shutout in a SunTrust River City Rumble sweep of Jacksonville … Kara Rutenbar set the offensive pace against Bethune-Cookman last week, opening the doubleheader with a 4-for-4 performance that included a career-high four runs and a pair of doubles … Rutenbar was among a group of five players that hit better than .300 for the Lady Ospreys … UNF now has 10 wins in conference play this season, marking the first time in its three-year league membership the team has reached double-digit wins in conference play … with its three wins last week, the team also guarantees its second-straight winning season on the NCAA Division I level … UNF has had walk-off home runs its last two senior days … Ashley Parenteau performed the honor against JU, winning the first game of a doubleheader with a walk-off home run in 2006, before Gwen Williams hit a walk-off against Stetson last year to give UNF a 1-0 win.
