Ospreys Defeat Charleston and Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - UNF beach volleyball (5-3) defended its home court with the completion of a 4-0 weekend after sweeping Charleston and battling out a 3-2 win against rival Jacksonville Saturday, March 4 from The Coop.
UNF has won four-straight games and finished the weekend as the lone team to go perfect over the last two days in Jacksonville.
North Florida battled through violent winds and consistent rain to sweep (RV) Charleston, getting two three-set wins in order to complete the clean sheet against the Cougars.
Freshmen Presley Murray and Madison Espy improved to 7-0 on the year as a pair, clinching the third slot. UNF's first and second pairs in Audrey Brooks and Iris Fletcher, along with Michaela Rezente and Katie Camp, both took three-set wins.
The win makes UNF 8-4 all-time against Charleston and winners of its last four against the Cougars.
