Softball Takes Road Series Against FGCU With 5-2 Win

Connor Spins Six Shutout Innings in Relief

FORT MYERS, Fla. - North Florida softball (28-21-1, 9-11-1 ASUN) found the runs needed early and had dominant pitching late to pull off its third-consecutive series win on the road against Florida Gulf Coast (29-23, 11-10 ASUN), 5-2, on Sunday afternoon.

The Ospreys came up with big hits in the first two innings with five runs scored, followed by Ashley Connor coming into relief in the circle and only allowing two hits through six innings. UNF has now won three-straight ASUN series, doing so against North Alabama, Bellarmine and FGCU, while going a combined 7-1-1 in that span in conference play.

Logan Jackson, Shannon Glover and Chloe Culp all came up with big time RBI in the rubber match victory on the road. Glover dominated this series with six hits combined on the weekend, including a two-hit, two-RBI performance to close out on the Eagles.
