INSIDE THE GAME

  • It was a short lived lead as the Red Foxes closed out the half on 13-6 run to take a 30-27 lead at the break.
  • In the third, Jazz Bond hit a three-pointer to knot the score at 32-all, but Marist continued to create distance owning a 46-40 lead after three.
  • North Florida opened the fourth on a 6-2 run to get within two, but it was as close as it would get as a 12-4 run put the game out of reach for the Ospreys.

Thoughts from the Top
"We battled and competed, but in the end they made more plays than we did. Our effort and energy was great; we just have to execute better on both ends." - Head Coach Darrick Gibbs

  • North Florida owned a 36-29 edge off the glass including a 12-5 margin.
  • With her 10 rebounds vs. Alabama A&M and eight today - Jackson enters the top 10 in UNF DI history with 421 rebounds. She is one of only three Ospreys to have 600+ points and 400+ rebounds.
