JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The North Florida Women's Soccer team faces Jacksonville in the first round of the Atlantic Sun Championship Friday at 7 p.m. at Southern Oak Stadium.
The Ospreys (4-11-1, 2-4-1 A-Sun) are the sixth overall seed in the tournament, while the Dolphins (6-7-2, 4-2-1 A-Sun) are the third seed. The winner will move on to play Lipscomb in Fort Myers, Fla. next Friday.
"We are excited once again to compete in the A-Sun Conference Tournament. It is a unique situation that we get to face the same team again within a week," said coach
Robin Confer. "Last week's game was very competitive and expect tomorrow's match will be no different."

The defense is anchored by junior
Jenna Steininger, who has played every minute of 14 of 16 matches this season, and every minute of A-Sun play.
