Game Summary:

Hot-shooting Ospreys Cap Hatters, 97-91 

Feb 3, 2018 – Charles Slavik

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The UNF Ospreys shot a blistering 63.5% from the field and 56.3% from behind the 3-point arc and Wajid Aminu and Noah Horchler both contributed double-doubles in a 97-91 victory over Stetson Saturday night at UNF Arena.

Aminu scored 20 points and corralled 13 rebounds, both season highs for him, and Horchler tickled the twine for 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season, an ASUN high. 

JT Escobar added 19 points, with 3 treys and 8-8 from the charity stripe, and Ivan Gandia-Rosa guided the offense with 8 assists while adding 16 points, thrilling the 2,001 fans in attendance. The victory completed a season sweep and the third straight victory over the Hatters. 

UNF (11-15, 5-4 ASUN) went on a 14-2 run with the score tied 21-21 at the 12:13 mark in the first half to build a lead over the Hatters (10-16, 2-7 ASUN) that they would not relinquish.  The Hatters did not get closer than two points the rest of the way. 

UNF dominated the rebounding battle 38-22 countering the Hatters aggressive defense that produced a 17-4 turnover and 10-1 advantage in steals. The Hatters had two players score 20-plus points led by Divine Myles with 24 and Luke Doyle with 20. 

After the game Coach Driscoll said “It is amazing to see these guys continue to grow, continue to learn and continue to persevere. Most importantly it was great to see that resiliency again to finish that one, though not as cleanly as we would have liked. To go 22-29 from the free throw line and shoot 64% from the field was nice to see.” 

UNF's next two games are on the road against Kennesaw State (Feb. 8) and Lipscomb (Feb. 10)
