JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida women's soccer team kicks off the 2013 season with road trips to Gardner-Webb and College of Charleston this weekend. The Ospreys open the season on Friday, Aug. 23 against the Bulldogs at 7:00 p.m. before concluding the weekend on Sunday, Aug. 25 with a noon match versus the Cougars.
Â
This past weekend, the Ospreys played in an exhibition match at Embry-Riddle which resulted in a 0-0 draw. Freshman goalie, Susie Ford, recorded four saves to earn the shutout.
Â
The Ospreys welcome nine freshmen to the team and return 18 letterwinners, including eight of last year's starters. The Ospreys come off an 8-10-2 season in 2012; including a 5-3-1 record in the Atlantic Sun. UNF has advanced to the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Tournament for the second consecutive year.

Gardner-Webb (Fri. Aug. 23, 7 p.m.) enters the match with a 1-1 draw with USC Upstate. North Florida has a 3-0-1 all-time record against the Bulldogs.
