SCOUTING THE OPPONENT

Queens enters Monday's match with a 1-7 record to go with their 0-2 conference record. This will be their first ASUN match as the host team this season.

The Lions lone win of the year came in the third match of the season at UNC Asheville, 3-0. They are currently on a three-match losing streak and have suffered losses to Stetson and Lipscomb.

This is the team's first season playing in the ASUN after making the transition into the conference and Division I level in July 2022. They were also picked to finish ninth in the ASUN Preseason Coaches Poll at the beginning of the season.

One of the biggest names on this Queens squad is sophomore forward Mario Goic, who has scored four goals and assisted on one another so far on the year. He is also the leader in total shots (30) and shots on goal (12) by a wide margin, as no other player has double of what Goic has produced in 2022.

SERIES HISTORY

- The Ospreys are 0-1 all-time against Queens (N.C.).
- Their lone matchup was a neutral site game played on Aug. 28, 2004, at Morrow, Ga.
- This will be their first matchup as ASUN and DI foes.

ON TAP

North Florida will compete its last leg of a four-game road slate when it takes on FGCU Saturday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. Due to the impact of Hurricane Ian in southwest Florida, a location change is in the realm of possibilities.
