JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's tennis canceled its match against UCF originally scheduled for Friday and now wraps up its regular schedule at Stetson to wrap up Atlantic Sun play in DeLand at noon.
UNF is 10-6 overall and 5-0 in A-Sun on the year entering its final weekend of regular season play. North Florida has already clinched a share of the regular season title with a win against FGCU and the Hatters loss to the Eagles. UNF can claim it outright with a victory over the Hatters. With a loss to Stetson, the Ospreys and Eagles would share the title, but it would give UNF the No. 1 seed in the tournament due to the win over FGCU.
