Game Notes

ORLANDO, Fla. – Fresh off two wins, University of North Florida women's basketball makes the short trip to UCF on Tuesday. Tip-off is set for 4:30 p.m., from the CFE Arena.

"We are looking forward to tomorrow's opportunity," said head coach Mary Tappmeyer. "UCF is a very long and athletic team that is relentless on the glass. We will have to control the glass and limit their second-chance opportunities, but I know our team is excited for this match-up."

Tuesday is the fifth of six-straight road games for the Ospreys. UNF comes off wins against UNC Wilmington and Eastern Kentucky at last weekend's UNCW Hampton Inn Thanksgiving Classic. UNF was the only team to go undefeated at the UNCW Hampton Inn Thanksgiving Classic, putting up a 2-0 record.

She topped her season-best the next day, pouring in 19 against Eastern Kentucky.
