SAY WHAT
"We gave up a lot of easy opportunities today with the offensive rebounds and live ball turnovers we gave up. We did some good things to generate opportunities, but we didn't capitalize. We have a lot to learn from this as we hit exams and get ready for our next one." -Head Coach Darrick Gibbs

GAME CAPSULE
First Half Trends

• The game started even as it was tied at 9-all just after the first media timeout.

• In the second, FAU went on a 7-1 stretch to take its first lead of the game, 20-19, at 7:25. 
• UNF then hit back-to-back buckets to regain its lead, 24-20, but a triple from Tyana Robinson closed the gap again. 
• For the final two minutes of the quarter, FAU held UNF to 0-for-6 from the field and eventually tied the game at 30-30 for the half.

Second Half Trends

• FAU took the lead in the third on a trey from Tyana Robinson who hit all of the Owls' treys for the day and North Florida played catch up for the remainder of the game.
• The Ospreys took the lead back late in the third and again early in the fourth on treys from Jackson, but each time FAU had the answer on the other side.
