Samford used a 9-0 run to take a 12-3 lead in the first quarter, matching Samford's largest margin of the opening quarter. North Florida's crucial second quarter performance started with a Helena Rafnsdottir three-pointer, bringing UNF within four. Gibson followed with a two and Nicole Carreno joined her classmate with a three-pointer.Â
The Ospreys took their first lead, 23-22, getting a Jazmine Spencer layup at the 6:59 mark. Samford would get within one, cutting it to 36-35 with a minute and change to go in the first half. Gibson replied with a timely three-pointer and Kaila Rougier gave UNF a six-point lead at the break with a layup.Â
North Florida's lead grew to as large as ten during the middle portion of the third quarter, but Samford's Sadie Stetson hit a three-pointer late into the third quarter to get the Bulldogs within a possession. The Ospreys never relinquished the lead through the fourth quarter, getting clutch buckets from a host of Ospreys to close out the comeback.
