Glover Plays Hero with Two-Run Homer in Seventh

DeLAND, Fla. - North Florida softball (33-17, 17-7 ASUN) clinched the second seed in the ASUN Championship Tournament after Shannon Glover lifted the Ospreys to 2-1 victory to win the regular season finale against Stetson (15-37, 6-18 ASUN) on Saturday afternoon.

Kylah Berry tallied six innings under her belt, with the Hatters taking a one-run lead in the third inning. The Ospreys remained scoreless until the top of the seventh where Glover hit the go-ahead two-run shot to center for the lead. Allison Benning came into the game in the bottom half, recording the save and the win with three-straight strikeouts.

It marks the second time in three seasons the Ospreys have clinched a top-three seed in the ASUN Championship. UNF receives a double-bye along with No. 1 Eastern Kentucky and will face the winner of No. 3 Central Arkansas versus the winner of No. 6 Jacksonville and No. 7 Queens (N.C.).
