FEAR THE SEABIRD OF PREY (NOT CANDY)

We are the Ospreys - which is Os-PRAYS - not Os-PREES.

RIVER CITY VICTORY

-UNF defeated JU 3-1, winning their first of two regular season conference matchups with the Dolphins

-The Ospreys notched their first conference victory of the 2023 campaign, and snapped a five-game skid

-Jesica Buis provided a career-best three aces for the Ospreys

-Kailey McKnight posted a double-double for the third consecutive match, and her sixth of the season

-Rocio Moro recorded 20 digs, leading the Ospreys in that category for the fifteenth time this season

MARATHON WEEKEND

-UNF engaged in two of the longest matches in recent history, having played in a three-hour and six minute match at Stetson Friday, Sept. 22 and nearly a two-hour and 50-minute contest at FGCU

-North Florida put up 200 total attacks against Stetson and 171 at FGCU

-Some massive and career performances came forth last weekend. Rocio Moro posted a 32-dig night against Stetson, the sixth time she reached that marker

-Janelly Ceopa made consecutive starts and eyed a double-double in each match

-Kierstyn McFall tied a career high with 18 kills at Stetson

-North Florida had two setters with doubledoubles in the match against Stetson, with Kelly Negron and Antar doing so

PRESEASON PICKS

-Anna Butler got the start in Saturday’s match against FGCU, her first of the season

-The junior posted 15 kills, her first double-digit kill outing since going for a career-best 17 in a 3-2 win against Virginia Tech back in 2021

-She also hit .382 and posted four blocks

PRESEASON PICKS

UNF made some noise in the preseason conference rankings and all-league team.

Mahalia White and Rocio Moro were both league superlative award honorees, with Moro being named ASUN Preseason Defensive Player of the Year for the third-straight time, while Mahalia White was named ASUN Preseason Player of the Year. Moro is the three-time reigning ASUN Defensive Player of the Year, the only studentathlete to have earned that honor three times in the history of the league. White was named to the ASUN Second Team a year ago after pacing the league in points/set and kills/set

HUNGRY AND EXPERIENCED

North Florida brings back significant numbers from last year’s team that finished 9-7 in league play. Headlining that group is Moro and White, along with starters in 2022 ASUN All-Freshman pick Kierstyn McFall, Maddie Boyd, Kailey McKnight. North Florida returns 85.5 percent of its sets played for 2022

HIGHEST OF HONORS

Graduate student Mahalia White received one of the highest honors in all of collegiate sports this past summer. White joined the nation’s best female student-athletes in Los Angeles for the Collegiate Women’s Sports Award (CWSA) Honda Cup ceremonies. She was selected by the CWSA as the Honda Inspiration Cup award winner, an honor given to a female student-athlete in any of the NCAA Divisions that has overcome an extraordinary trial during their respective careers before overcoming and returning to

success. White defeated Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and a torn ACL during her collegiate playing career before returning to the court and putting up all-league honors last year

CALI KIDS

UNF started its season in California, playing an exhibition at San Diego State and three matches in Santa Barbara ... UNF took on Denver, New Mexico State and UCSB ... the Ospreys started the weekend with a 3-1 win against Denver, but dropped matches to NMSU and UCSB ... Kailey McKnight posted 36 kills and earned all-tournament honors ... North Florida’s roster features four Ospreys that are either from California or played college volleyball somewhere in California ... head coach Kristen Wright is also a California native.

NOTING THE NEWCOMERS

UNF’s roster features 19 total and six newcomers Just two of UNF’s newcomers are true freshmen, as Emma Pohlmann suits up in the Navy and Gray after arriving by way of Birmingham, Ala. Francis-Garay competed for her native country of Puerto Rico this summer before joining the Ospreys in mid-August. Morgan Wilson (Towson), Rylee Moorhead (Presbyterian), Negron (UC Irvine) and Kyla Solis (Clemson), all bring extensive experience in the DI ranks.

FUN FACTS!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT UNF

UNF’s nickname is the Osprey (OS-Pray), a large bird of prey that is also known as the sea hawk, fish eagle, or fish hawk. Ospreys are typically found near water to ensure adequate food supply.

Jacksonville - Florida’s largest city by population and the United States’ largest city by area - is where UNF calls home. UNF is located approximately 10 miles from Jacksonville Beach or downtown Jacksonville.

THE FIRST IN THE NATION

NORTH FLORIDA MILESTONE TRACKER

player statistic milestone

Did you know that UNF was the first team nationally to win a conference championship AND the first team to earn an automatic bid to the AVCA Sand Volleyball National Championships? The Ospreys captured the 2012 Atlantic Sun Championship, which was the first-ever conference title to be won in NCAA sand volleyball history. In 2013, UNF followed that up with its second-straight ASUN Conference Championship and the first-ever national tournament berth to be given to a team.
