FORT MYERS, Fla. – Despite coming out with a solid first set, University of North Florida volleyball's season concluded with a 3-1 (19-25, 25-14, 25-17, 25-17) loss to cross-town rival Jacksonville in the first round of the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
 
"I'm proud of the careers our seniors have had," said head coach Steve Loeswick. "Tonight was not the result we were hoping for, but I know our team played very well at times this year. Our program is continuing to grow and get better."

However, a kill from Morgan Van Alstine halted the Dolphins' run. UNF ultimately closed the set on a three-point run with a solo block from Tessa Alyman clinching set point.
