JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's basketball (8-15, 2-7) got back in the win column after graduate Jayla Adams hit a clutch jumper in the paint with five seconds left on the clock to take down Austin Peay (11-13, 4-6), 52-50, on Thursday afternoon.

The Ospreys held the lead for the majority of the game after jumping to an early lead in the first period, but Adams handled the rock with 10 seconds remaining and put down the game-winner in regulation. She ended her night with a team-high 15 points to extend her stretch of double-digit performances in conference play.

Emma Broermann set a career-high milestone against the Governors with her 129th appearance as an Osprey to become the all-time program leader for career games played. The fifth-year graduate student reached the mark in her 90th career start, while also getting to celebrate her 23rd birthday with a win as well.
