SHORT STORY: The Ospreys clinched a spot in the ASUN Tournament despite a loss to Steston a week ago, but now look to move up in the standings with a win against the Eagles. It will be a tough feat though as the Ospreys have only beaten FGCU on time in series history.
SERIES NOTES
- UNF looks for its first goal against the Eagles since 2012 as that is the lone win against FGCU for the Ospreys.
- FGCU has outscored UNF 9-0 in the last four meetings.
LAST TIME vs. FGCU
The Eagles grabbed just one goal a season ago when Lauren Greene found the back of the net in the 70th minute. FGCU outshot UNF, 10-5 and took seven corners to the Ospreys two.
NATIONAL RANKS
Freshman
Thais Reiss is 62nd in the country with three game-winning goals, while also ranking 29th in shots per game (3.92)
Keeper RHIANNON Connelley is 46th in the nation with her six shutouts and is second in the conference.
ASUN SUCCESS
North Florida is looking for its first win against FGCU since 2012 which would propel itself into third place in the league. Stetson also has to lose for UNF to take third. If the Ospreys lose, 4th or 5th would be possibilities based on the outcomes of other games around the league.
