Coach Loeswick's Thoughts
"I thought Lipscomb played really well and put a lot of pressure on our passers. We weren't able to find any offensive rhythm. Even though things didn't go our way, we continued to battle. I am proud of the seniors and their contributions to our Osprey family."

LOOKING AHEAD
North Florida congratulates seniors Turner, Carina Hoff, Katarina Raicevic and Sadie Thurston on their Osprey careers. UNF returns 10 players for the 2018 season.
