Ospreys Edge Eagles 1-0 to Remain Undefeated
3/13/2021 8:20:00 PM | Women's Soccer
JACKSONVILLEÂ -- North Florida women's soccer earned the season sweep of defending ASUN Champion, FGCU, after edging the Eagles 1-0 in Saturday's rematch at Hodges Stadium.
RECORDS
North Florida | 6-0-0 (3-0-0 ASUN)
FGCU | 3-2-2 (1-2-0 ASUN)
GOALS
UNF - 26' | Thais Reiss (Penalty Kick)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- FGCU created the first scoring chance in the 21st minute, when Louise Lillback got the ball in the middle of the box, turned and fired a low liner that was snuffed out by UNF goalkeeper Mercedes Sapp
- Thais Reiss, the ASUN leading scorer, capitalized on a first half penalty kick opportunity in the 26th minute, tallying the only goal of the game and secured the win for the Ospreys
- In the 64th minute, Kendra Hoffman nearly added a second tally for UNF but her blast from just outside the box was punched just past the upper right hand corner
- Sapp stepped up big in the closing minutes as she made an athletic save on a free kick shot by the Eagles in the 83rd minute
Â
- Senior Thais Reiss upped her ASUN leading total to 7 goals, having now scored in five of six matches for the Ospreys
- Reiss improved to 3-for-3 on PK tries this season
-  Ospreys outshot the Eagles, 9-5, with both squads putting four shots each on frame
- Mercedes Sapp collected her third clean sheet of the season and has held the Osprey's last two opponents without a goal | Recorded four saves against FGCU
- North Florida earned 6 corner kicks compared to just two for the Eagles
- Win was UNF's second in a row vs FGCU and marked just the third all-time victory for Ospreys against EaglesÂ
- UNF improves its program best Division I era start to 6-0-0
- Ospreys are responsible for both of FGCU's losses this season
FAULCONERÂ TALES
"I thought this would be a tight game and it was. The first game, despite the scoreline, was tight as well. With that said, I thought after the early stages of the the first half we started to control the match as it wore on. Our backline dealt with an athletic group of front runners and our midfield did a solid job of being disciplined and created some nice attacking opportunities. Overall, we are 6-0 and more importantly 3-0 in the ASUN. We will enjoy this win and quickly turn our focus to JU next weekend."
- Head coach Eric Faulconer
