UNF Won By 17 Against KSU Earlier This Year
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - An important five-game stretch in ASUN East Division play to close out the regular season begins tomorrow at Kennesaw State. The Ospreys dispatched the Owls by double-digits in the first meeting back in January.
Â
Â
SERIES HISTORY
UNF and Kennesaw State have already played 51 times ... the Ospreys have played the Owls more than any other of its ASUN opponents ... whoever is the home team has traditionally held the series advantage ... UNF is 17-7 against KSU at home, while the Owls are 18-7 against Kennesaw State in Georgia ... the Ospreys routed Kennesaw State, 66-49, January 19 of this year, getting 22 points from Rhetta Moore in the win.
LAST TIME VS. KENNESAW STATE (1.19.22)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Four Ospreys reached double-digit points, UNF outscored Bellarmine by 24 in bench points and the Bond sisters each had milestone mornings as North Florida women's basketball (11-12, 4-7 ASUN) dispatched Bellarmine (3-19, 0-11 ASUN), 85-63, Wednesday, Feb. 9.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
KENNESAW STATE: The Owls are led by first-year head coach Octavia Blue ... KSU is percentage points ahead of North Florida in the ASUN East Division standings, touting a 4-6 conference mark ... Kennesaw State's Alexis Poole became the program's all-time leader in points in KSU's Division I-era during a 14-point win against Central Arkansas ... you'll rarely find Amani Johnson on the bench ... the guard is fourth in the nation in minutes played per game at 37.95.
AN OSPREY WIN WOULD...
-Bring UNF back to .500 for the first time since Feb. 3.
-Give the Ospreys a sweep of its two games against Kennesaw State this season.
-Bring the Ospreys past the Owls in the ASUN East Division standings.
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
North Florida shot 13-for-14 from the free throw line in the win against Bellarmine. As a team this year, UNF is shooting 75.2 percent, good for the best mark in program history for a single season. Â
Â
KNIGHTLY OCCURRENCE
Point guard Ally Knights is dishing out 4.6 assists/game, good for tied-for-fourth in UNF single season history. She's 64th in the nation in assists/game and is third in the league. Knights tallied seven assists to help UNF to 20 helpers in the win against Bellarmine, North Florida's highest-assist total in ASUN play this season. Knights is over 100 assists for the season and has posted at least five assists in 10 of 22 games played this season.
SEVENTH HEAVEN
Jazz Bond was named ASUN Player of the Week for the seventh time in her UNF career after earning the honor this past week.Â
SWIPED
UNF swiped Bellarmine 14 times, good for UNF's highest-steals total in ASUN play this season. Three Ospreys had three steals apiece in Rhetta Moore, Jazz Bond and Summah Evans.
NO SHOT COMES EASY
UNF is just 14 blocks from setting the program single-game blocks record. The Ospreys have 113 blocks as a team, good for 15th in the country and first in the ASUN. The Ospreys are swatting 4.9 per game, the 22nd best mark in Division I. Jazz Bond has 270 blocks for her career, the most by any UNF player in program history. She has swatted 57 shots this season. Bond has blocked at least 50 shots in all four years during her time at UNF.
MAKING THEM COUNT
Emma Broermann is 92-148 from the floor this year, good for the best field goal percentage in UNF single-game history. Her 62.2 percent mark is the best tally in players that put up at least 50 shots in a season.
ON THE BRINKÂ
Jazz Bond is 69 points shy of breaking the UNF DI-era record for career points. She has 1,502, behind UNF Hall of Famer Brittany Kirkland who has 1,571 for her career. Bond is 49 field goals shy of surpassing Kirkland for field goals during UNF's DI days. She is also second in UNF DI history for three-pointers with 145.
JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE
Jaida Bond scored a season-high 18 points coming off the bench in UNF's win against Bellarmine. To boot, Bond did that in just 15 minutes in her first time coming off the bench on the year.
IN THE RESPECTIVE NESTS
UNF and KSU's series history has some depth to it. Interestingly enough, UNF is 17-7 against KSU at home while the Owls have an 18-7 advantage in Kennesaw.
FAN OF THE 70'S
When UNF scores at least 70 points during head coach Darrick Gibbs' tenure at UNF, the Ospreys are 55-9.
THE DUO FROM DOWN UNDER
UNF had two Australians in its starting lineup in the win against Bellarmine. Summah Evans, a Cairns, Australia native, joined classmate Ally Knights, a Geelong, AustraliaÂ
