Ospreys Honor Beckley, Cain, Harrison, Roskic and Smith in Home Finale
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - UNF beach volleyball (17-9) hosted a doubleheader on Senior Day, falling in matches against (RV) FGCU (14-11) and No. 19 Georgia State (21-12) Saturday, April 17 from The Cooper Beach Volleyball Complex.
North Florida honored and recognized Sophie Beckley, Carolyn Cain, Antonia Harrison, Dana Roskic and Kirby Smith prior to the match for Senior Day.
Seven of 10 sets went to three frames as the Ospreys played their final home matches of the year.
Match 1: (RV) FGCU 4, (RV) UNF 1
FGCU started the day with a straight-sets win at the fifth slot. The Eagles would go up 2-0 after the fourth pair, but it wasn't so easy as Lauren Galinis and Carleigh Semeniuk won the longest set played of the season.
Down a frame, Semeniuk and Galinis erased a 20-13 deficit, forcing a marathon sequence that saw the session go deep into the upper 20s. Semeniuk and Galinis eventually won set two, 30-28. Georgia State edged out a 15-13 win in the deciding set.
The Panthers swept the third slot and clinched the match at the second slot in a three-set bout between Taryn Griffey and Callie Workman and the GSU second pair.
Despite losing the first set, 13-21, Harrison and Roskic rebounded to win at the top slot, 21-17 and 15-10.

Wright's Words
"Thank you to all who came to support our fabulous seniors! They have put us on the map as one of the top-20 programs in the country. Today we battled hard and lost some tight duals. Seven of our 10 matches went to three sets. The next step is maintaining control and finishing teams off in two, and siding out in the clutch more consistently." -- Director of Volleyball Kristen Wright
