JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – North Florida Women's Soccer's second-half comeback fell just short to Jacksonville, 4-3, in the first matchup of the River City Rumble at Corporate Traffic Logistics Field at Hodges Stadium on Sunday.

Jacksonville jumped out to an early lead scoring off a penalty kick in the fifth minute, but fifth year forward/midfielder Paige McSwigan responded with a goal of her own off a penalty kick in the eighth minute to even the contest, 1-1.

For McSwigan, it marked her ASUN-best ninth goal of the season and 21st career goal. The goal also moved McSwigan into sole possession of third place in Division-I program history with 21 career goals.

The Dolphins would retake the lead with a pair of goals in the 29th minute and 32nd minute. Jacksonville would tack on another goal in the 41st minute to take a 4-1 lead into the half.

The Ospreys would narrow the lead in the second half with freshman midfielder Peyton Thomas firing in her first career goal in the 52nd minute.

North Florida would narrow the margin to one goal when fifth year forward Allie Fekany tacked on her first goal of the season off an assist from junior midfielder K.J. Straub in the 77th minute.

Fekany's goal also moved her into sole possession of sixth place in Division I program history with 15 career goals.

For Straub, it marked her first assist as an Osprey and second career assist.

Overall, 19 Ospreys saw action and three players logged the full 90 minutes.
