- UNF is playing its second game in six days (Webber, FAU, Xavier) and then has back-to-back games after Thanksgiving.
SCOUTING THE OWLS

- The Owls defeated Florida Memorial and Indiana State at home prior to their first away contest.
- Malia Kency leads the team with 10.7 points per game, while Raven Doyle is getting it done on both sides of the floor with 10.3 ppg and a team-best 9.7 boards per game.Â
- Kency and Sasha Cedeno are threats from long range as both have seven treys on the season.
- FAU is outrebounding opponents by 7.7 per game with five players averaging three or more.
ON THIS DAY
North Florida is 5-1 on this day, last playing in 2011 at Missouri where the Ospreys took the loss. Previously, UNF has played just one time on Nov. 20 in Division I history.
LONG RANGE STREAKING
The Ospreys have made at least one 3-pointer in 35 consecutive games dating back to 2/25/15 when FGCU held them without a longball (0-8).
CRASH THE GLASS
UNF's 58 boards against Webber is fourth best in program history. Every one who saw time had at least two rebounds on the day including three with seven.
NEW FACES
The Ospreys added depth in the offseason with the addition of six players to its roster. HANSON & Simone Brown come off of a season out due to transfer rules, while Jaiveonna Norris joins UNF after a successful junior college career. Freshmen Kennya Simms, Adrienne Jackson and Kirsten Clement wrap up the newbies.
LOOKING AHEAD
UNF travels to Ohio to take on Xavier on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
