JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's golf closes out its regular season slate with the Ironwood Invitational hosted by East Carolina from Apr. 3-4 in Greenville, N.C.
The Ospreys had three weeks of rest from their last competition at the Briar's Creek Invitational before being set to play against 10 teams, including two top-100 teams, at the East Carolina meet. This will be their last chance to tune up before playing against the conference at the ASUN Championship in two weeks.

- Jessie Cai also placed inside the top three to make the All-Tournament team at the 2022 Ironwood Invite.
- Daniela Gonzalez joins Eisenbeiss and Cai as returners from last year's tournament.
- Ospreys will look to place among the top five teams in back-to-back seasons at East Carolina, as well as for the second time this spring.
- This week's lineup features a graduate, a senior, two juniors and a redshirt sophomore.
- Third meet in the Carolina's this season, along with their seventh out-of-state tournament.
- The field features a pair of top 100 teams, which include No. 46 College of Charleston and No. 77 James Madison.
- Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville also joins the Ospreys as ASUN opponents in the last tournament before the conference meet.
- The first and second rounds will tee off at 8:00 a.m., and will go all day on Monday with UNF starting at the first hole, while the final round of the tourney will tee off on Tuesday morning at 8:15 a.m.

- Eisenbeiss has tallied up four top-10 finishes and seven top-25 finishes, which includes placing 10th overall in the latest meet at College of Charleston. She looks to go back-to-back medalist crowns at East Carolina in an effort for one last push for ASUN Women's Golfer of the Year.

- Cai had her best tournament of the season at the UNF Collegiate tied for seventh, as she looks to get back to that mark this week. She tied for third in last season's Ironwood Invite and has her sights set on topping that mark.
- Sarah Scott has been a new presence in the Osprey lineup with this being her fourth event played this year. She has the third-best scoring average on the team at 75.11 and looks to make a late impact for UNF as a senior.
