INSIDE THE GAME
- The game saw 14 lead changes and three ties as neither team held more than a seven-point advantage at any time.Â
- North Alabama struck first before UNF went on an 8-0 run. The Lions answered with a pair of threes to take a lead just after the first media.
- From there the teams traded baskets with North Alabama leading 14-13 after one.
- In the second, neither team was productive as both teams only had two baskets each, however UNA's were both triples as the hosts owned a 20-18 lead into the half.
- The Lions created distance early in the third quarter, but the Ospreys went on a 5-0 run thanks to Janesha Green's three-point play to tie the game 26-all.
