Ospreys Sweep North Alabama, Fall to #14 Stetson

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida beach volleyball (5-3) won every set in a clean sweep of North Alabama (3-3), but #14 Stetson (9-3) topped the Ospreys by the same score as UNF split a home doubleheader Thursday, March 11.

UNF's five-match home winning streak was snapped in the loss to rival Stetson.

North Florida didn't drop a set across all six courts, including the extras pair, in the 5-0 sweep of North Alabama. No court trailed at any point. Pairs one through four improved to 5-2 on the year, while Maddie Norris and Chantel McMillan moved up to 2-0 as a pair after the win against UNA.

Stetson took each pair in the third match of the year between the Hatters and Ospreys. Lauren Galinis and Carleigh Semeniuk rebounded from a first-set loss to push the third flight to three sets. Both sides had multiple match points before opponents Yasmin Kuck and Gabriella Bramante won in three sets.

Wright's Words
"I thought we had a great process orientation today. This is our second week of play and the goal is to evaluate and control what we can control and improve. Across the board, all of our pairs need to work on cutting down unforced errors and mistakes in timely moments. We did that better than UNA but not as well at each level against Stetson. We're looking forward to cleaning up a few things in practice before we get back to the grind in the UNF Spring Fling this weekend."

Up Next
UNF opens the Spring Fling Saturday with one match apiece against Charleston and Eckerd.
