Junior Meaghan Mulligan served the corner to the head of Lindsey Patton who flicked the ball on to Lauren Greene for the game's lone score. The goal was Greene's third of the season.
North Florida goalkeeper Victoria Ekeli made the game's only save, a diving effort with 4:38 to keep the score 1-0. The Osprey defense kept the high-powered Eagle offense in check for the majority of the night. Over the first 45 minutes of play, FGCU managed only one shot.

From Coach Confer
On the result
"We were proud of the effort and fight our girls gave tonight. FGCU is a great team and we battled right there with them tonight. I thought were defended well and created some good opportunities on the offensive end."
Looking Forward
"This team is excited for another chance to keep playing and I know they are focused and motivated going into next week's game."
Up Next: The time has yet to be announced but North Florida will take on Stetson in DeLand on Saturday in the ASUN Quarterfinals.
