FROM THE MOUTH OF MARINATOS
"Credit to Lipscomb; they came out and put us under a lot of pressure in the first half. I do not feel our mentality was where it should be. I thought we defended some moments well, but lost a lot of 1-v-1 battles. It took a PK to beat us ultimately. 
 
"We made some adjustments in the second half and created enough chances to get a goal, especially with the PK, and unfortunately we missed our chances. I am proud of the way we fought back, but you have to finish one of the great chances we created and that was the difference." - head coach Derek Marinatos

UP NEXT
North Florida is finished with ASUN play and now plays two non-conference games to wrap up the regular season. The Ospreys host FAU on Wednesday at 6 p.m. and will honor four seniors prior to the match.
