Wright Reaches 100 Wins at UNF With Ospreys Road Win at North Alabama

UNF Bounces Back from First Set Deficit

FLORENCE, Ala. - Behind three double-digit kill performances and nine team aces, North Florida (10-17, 6-6 ASUN) bounced back from a one-set deficit to pull off a quality road win at North Alabama (14-11, 8-4 ASUN), 3-1, Sunday, Nov. 3. With the win, head coach Kristen Wright reached 100-career wins at North Florida, becoming the first coach in the program's DI era to reach that milestone.

After dropping a tough first set, UNF evaded a 2-0 deficit with a 4-0 run to close the second. North Florida seemingly took the momentum for good by erasing a 10-3 deficit to win the third before a dominating fourth.

UNF 3, UNA 1 (17-25, 26-24, 25-22, 20-8)
  • Set 1: UNA took a 7-3 lead thanks to a 4-0 run, but UNF bounced back with its own 4-0 run after a timeout to tie things at 7-7 … UNA came up with an 8-2 run to gain a 17-11 lead … UNA would hold on to the lead to take the first set.
  • Set 2: Anna Butler upped her kill total to seven early into the second set as things were even, 6-6 … a seesaw second set finished in a huge way for UNF, with the Ospreys evading set point with a 4-0 run to seal the frame, 26-24.
  • Set 3: UNA jumped ahead, 10-3, but just like the last set, UNF came up with a clutch 6-1 run to cut the deficit to one … down 19-14, UNF came back with a 7-0 run to take a two-point lead, with the go-ahead points coming from consecutive blocks … Kierstyn McFall finished the set off with a kill in the 25-22 win.
  • Set 4: The Ospreys game on the service line continued with UNF taking a 9-4 lead … North Florida's lead expanded to 16-7, with three Ospreys reaching double-digit kills as UNF ran away with it.
