Last Time Out:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Ospreys hit the gas late Tuesday night, and junior
Adrienne Jackson was more than a big reason why. The guard played big, pouring in 20 points while reeling in a career-high 17 boards as UNF (9-11, 4-5 ASUN) erased a halftime deficit to top Lipscomb, 72-66, February 5.
Jackson's 17 rebounds is the most by any Osprey this season and the most since Keonna Farmer brought 20 down off the glass against NJIT February 17, 2018.

- Senior guard Ty Purifoy has 199 career assists in just 48 contests at UNF.
- UNF is 6-1 on Tuesdays after the win against Lipscomb, although Saturdays have been particularly tough. The Ospreys are looking for their first win on Saturday this year.
- Jackson neared UNF's first 20-20 game since Paulina Zaveckaite scored 20 and notched 20 boards against USC Upstate February 17, 2018.
