Weekly Notes
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – University of North Florida softball plays its first mid-week game on Wednesday when the Ospreys make the trek west to Florida A&M for a single contest.
"We had a great weekend at home, but we have several huge games on the road this week," said head coach Marcie Hickey. "Florida A&M had a tough tournament at UCF this past weekend, but they competed in each of their games. We have to be consistent with our batting, pitching and fielding and play our game."
The Ospreys are off to an 8-2 start and have gone 4-1 at each of their first two tournaments of the season. UNF was supposed to play a mid-week game last Wednesday against UCF, but it was postposed to Apr. 2 due to expected inclement weather in Jacksonville.
In each of the last three UNF wins, an Osprey has registered a home run. Rachel Engel began the trend with a two-out solo homer against Savannah State. Both Aisha Kerr and Kelly Wilson added two-run shots against Troy and Southern Illinois, respectively. For Kerr, it was the second-straight weekend in which she's registered a home run. Kerr currently leads UNF with a .385 batting average, 10 hits and seven runs.
Florida A&M plays its first home game on Wednesday. The Lady Rattlers opened the season at the Mercer Bear Classic and were in action last weekend at the UCF Marriott Invitational. Florida A&M comes off a 1-4 showing at last weekend's tournament. However, after their 6-2 win over Illinois-Chicago, the Lady Rattlers dropped one-run games to both Middle Tennessee (6-5) and UCF (1-0) on Feb. 15 and then suffered a 3-1 loss to Middle Tennessee on Feb. 16. Alyssa Weaver enters Wednesday with a team-best nine hits, while three Lady Rattlers are batting .333.
UNF leads the all-time series 15-8, but Florida A&M won the last meeting 7-5 on Mar. 7, 2013 at the UNF Softball Complex. Wednesday's game is just the second time in the series history in which UNF and Florida A&M meet in a single game not associated with a tournament. The previous time was last season's game on Mar. 7.
First pitch for Wednesday's game is set for 5 p.m., from the Lady Rattler Softball Complex.
