HOW IT HAPPENED
- It did not take long for the Ospreys to get on the board as they attacked fast in the Dolphins' zone.
- Adam Everett ripped a shot that the keeper failed to control and then Cormac Begley took his chance, but was stopped by a JU defender.
- However, Robbie Soronellas was right there to clean up the deflection and put it home for the 1-0 lead just 37 seconds in the into the contest.
- The rest of the first half remained quiet as UNF held a 7-4 edge in shots.
- In the second, Jacksonville came ready for the attack and in the 51st minute, Padraic Gilley came up big on a shot from 51st minute huge save from Jesus Colombo. Gilley knocked the rocket to the left to end the Dolphins opportunity.
- North Florida added to its lead when Soronellas scored his second goal of the game. He fired a shot from 20 yards out on the left side to slip it past the outstretched hands of the JU keeper.
- Junior Nick Burgess had the Ospreys' final chance when he hit a header just wide of the goal with 17 minutes left to play.

FROM THE MOUTH OF MARINATOS
"It feels great to get a point in the River City Rumble and in conference play. Tonight we came in and we had a job to do. All the credit goes to players and staff. This week's preparation was our best of the season. We had a full week to train and get some guys back, and at the end of the day we were able to go on the road and get a crucial three points in conference play. Our guys now have the belief that if we keep sticking to the three things that our important to us; our mentality, our discipline and how we train during the week - that we can keep getting better."
UP NEXT
The Ospreys take a quick break from ASUN play to head to former conference foe Mercer on Monday at 6 p.m.
