JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida women's tennis takes on Eastern Kentucky (9-16) on Friday, Apr. 12, for senior day at the UNF Tennis Complex at 10 a.m. UNF will then look to end the regular season hot heading into their final match of the regular season against Queens on Sunday, Apr. 14, in Charlotte, N.C., at 10 a.m. UNF will honor seniors Kendall Nash, Amy Kaplan and Annabelle Davis after its match against EKU on Friday morning.

The Ospreys have had success against EKU in the past holding an all-time record of 6-0 against them. This would be a big momentum boost for them as they enter the home stretch with the conference tournament just around the corner.

After hosting its senior day match, they will then make the trip to face Queens, who remains winless in ASUN competitions this season. Coming off a huge win against Austin Peay, the Ospreys look to make a push to elevate their seeding, as they currently sit in the sixth spot in the ASUN standings.
