FROM THE MOUTH OF MARINATOS
"Credit to goes to Mercer. I thought we were pretty ineffective in the first half even though we had them pinned in. We had some quality opportunities, but couldn't finish. They took advantage of a fortunate opportunity to score their first goal and the guy took it well. They really only had two good looks in the first with a set piece and the goal they scored. We came out in second half and dominated. Credit to their goalkeeper who made some big saves, especially on our opportunity on an open net. We had a couple chances to tie the match at 1-1, but unfortunately couldn't finish."

UP NEXT
North Florida continues its road swing as it heads to NJIT Saturday. UNF's position at tied for first in the ASUN will be on the line in Newark.
