JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The North Florida women's soccer team returns home after six matches on the road to open up A-Sun Conference play against the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast on Friday, Sept. 26^th at 7 p.m. at Hodges Stadium.
 
"We are excited to start up conference play and have had a good week of training," said head coach Robin Confer. "FGCU has played a competitive non-conference schedule and will be prepared."
 
The Ospreys (1-8-0) are coming off of a tough weekend at the Jaguars Classic in Mobile, Ala., where they dropped two 1-0 decisions to South Alabama and Troy, with their loss to Troy coming in the second overtime period.
 
One highlight of the weekend was senior goalkeeper Megan Dorsey, who tallied 19 total saves, earning her A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week Honors. Her 51 saves this season ranks second in the A-Sun and her 221 saves ranks second among active A-Sun goalkeepers, while her 14 victories ranks second all-time in school history.
 
The Eagles (6-3-0) are led by sophomore Tabby Tindell, who leads the A-Sun in goals this season in both goals (10) and points (23).
 
"When you get to conference play it is like a new season, so our team is excited," added Confer.
