Match Notes
Viollet Cup Retained: In the annual River City Rumble against cross-town rival Jacksonville on Friday night, the Ospreys emerged victorious in a 1-0 double-overtime thriller. Senior Andrey Rosales headed in the game-winning goal off a pass by Ivan Castro in the 107^th minute. The Ospreys have now won three-straight meetings against the Dolphins.
Shining Senior: Rosales, who came into the year without a goal in his first 20 games as an Osprey, has now scored three goals in the last two matches. His game-winner on Friday night marked the second-straight game he's scored the deciding goal. He and teammate Josh Castellanos have both collected game-winners in back-to-back contests this season.

Moving on Up: The 1-0 win over Jacksonville has propelled the Ospreys 19 spots to No. 47 in the latest NCAA RPI rankings. Last season the Ospreys made it as high as No. 44.

ASUN Shutout Streak: In regular season play dating back to last season, the Ospreys have recorded five-straight shutouts of ASUN opponents. Including postseason play, the Ospreys only allowed two goals against ASUN foes, outscoring the opposition, 18-2 in the process.

Coming Up Big: Goalkeeper Tord Pedersen denied Jacksonville forward Mitchell Hopkins' close-range shot in the 86^th minute to help force overtime. It was one of three saves in 62 minutes of play for the junior netminder. He and teammate Juanes Fajardo combined for the team's third shutout of the season.

Close Calls: Friday night was littered with a number of close opportunities for the Osprey attack. North Florida managed to hit the cross bar twice in the first half and then a Cormac Begley shot in the 54^th minute rung off the right post. For the game the Ospreys held a 18-7 advantage in shots and held the Dolphins without a chance in the two overtime sessions.

Last Meeting: In addition to sharing last year's regular season championship, FGCU and North Florida tied 1-1 in an Oct. 10, 2015 meeting at Hodges Stadium. An FGCU penalty kick tied the game at one just 2:12 after Simen Solstad gave the Ospreys a 1-0 lead in the 26th minute. FGCU owns a 8-1-2 advantage in the all-time series and the last two regular season games have ended in a tie.

About FGCU: The nationally ranked Eagles have used the nation's number one scoring offense to fuel 10-straight victories, the longest streak in the country. FGCU is fresh off a 6-0 thrashing of Stetson on Friday night in which Arion Sobers-Assue scored twice and assisted on another. His performance garnered ASUN Player of the Week honors, the fifth-straight week an Eagle has been recognized which is an ASUN record. FGCU is averaging 3.38 goals per game hand has totaled 44 this season, both tops in NCAA Division I Soccer. Junior Albert Ruiz, the program's all-time leading scorer, leads the country in goals (12) goals per game (1.0) and points per game (2.42).
