GAINESVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's basketball (4-9) showed life with scoring runs, but fell on the road in its non-conference finale against Florida (8-5), 75-47, to wrap up play in the 2024 calendar year on Saturday afternoon.

The Ospreys kept the margin close throughout the first half, as they closed in to as little as six points with two minutes before the break. Jazmine Spencer and Jamisyn Stinson both hit the double-digit scoring mark, but it wasn't enough to pull off a road upset against the Gators.
