Softball Drops Series Finale Against Liberty

All Five Osprey Pitchers See Time in Circle

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - After putting up nine runs in the second doubleheader game on Friday, North Florida softball (19-18, 2-10 ASUN) wasn't able to find the same production on offense in a 6-0 defeat to Liberty (25-13, 10-2 ASUN) on Saturday morning at the UNF Softball Complex.

The Ospreys were able to hold Liberty scoreless through the first four innings thanks to Izzy Kelly and Ashley Connor in the circle, but Liberty's bat woke up late.
