LAST TIME vs. LIPSCOMB
Last season, the Ospreys went down 1-0 in the first half and then let an early goal in the second half to sit back 2-0. Sarah Wasser scored on a penalty kick, but it was all the Ospreys could muster. Lipscomb took 12 shots to UNF's eight and led 5-3 on corner kicks.

Last TIME VS. KENNESAW STATE
The Owls have won the last two meetings, including a 2-1 victory last season in Jacksonville. Last season Gabrielle Liguori netted the game-tying goal, but five minutes later the Owls struck again to take the game in Jacksonville.
