GAME CAPSULE
First Half Trends
  • North Florida dominated the opening 10 minutes, allowing just one JU field goal for the quarter and led 15-8.
  • In the second quarter, the Ospreys committed four miscues that allowed the Dolphins to go on a 10-2 run and take an 18-17 lead with 6:11 left to play.
  • UNF went out in front for the final time on Farmer's basket with 4:43 to play, but the Dolphins responded with a triple and lay up on the other end.
  • JU shot a blistering 58.3 percent in the second quarter as it held a 26-24 edge at halftime.

Second Half Trends
  • The Dolphins eventually took a 39-29 lead with 4:10 to play in the third quarter, but UNF then went on an 11-3 run to pull within 41-40.
  • As time ticked down, a three-point play from Kayla Gordon pushed the Dolphins back out in front 44-40 to end the frame.
  • The visitors again went on a 9-0 run to pull ahead by double digits where it stayed for the remainder of the game.
