Ospreys Held to Season-Low 48 Points


FORT MYERS, Fla. - Jazz Bond collected 18 points and 11 rebounds to fuel her fourth straight double-double, although a cruising FGCU (15-4, 6-0 ASUN) squad took advantage of 23 North Florida (7-11, 2-5 ASUN) turnovers in a 80-48 loss at Alico Arena Sunday, Jan. 27.

Inside the First Half
Both offenses started off slow, with FGCU scoring the game's first basket at the 8:09 mark in the first quarter. 10 more Eagles' points carved out a 12-0 advantage, although a Bond jump shot and buzzer-beating three-pointer cut the deficit to 14-7 at the end of the first horn.

10 second quarter turnovers turned into 12 FGCU points off such miscues in the second session. North Florida closed out the half shooting 7-of-16 after missing the opening eight shots of the game, although FGCU carried a 34-17 lead into the break.

Inside the Second Half
FGCU came out swinging in the second half, converting 67 percent of its shots and six three-pointers in the third quarter as it opened up its lead to 64-29. UNF responded with its own run in the fourth, tallying a 14-4 sequence that included a 9-0 run with the help of six points from Bond.

Thoughts from the Top
"We really struggled executing today. They really got into us physically and we didn't respond the way we needed to. Our turnovers led directly to points for them and you can't give a good team like FGCU easy opportunities." - head coach Darrick Gibbs

What's Next?
The Ospreys continue the road swing with a rare morning contest at Kennesaw State Tuesday, Jan. 29, at 11 a.m.
