Early B-CU Shooting Slump Pushes UNF Past the Lady Wildcats, 75-57

Bethune-Cookman made their third consecutive road trip in the past week, facing the Ospreys of the University of North Florida. The Lady Wildcats showed great determination and got into striking position multiple times, but ultimately fell to the Ospreys 75-57.

While B-CU struggled to get their offense going, UNF showed no signs of slowing down, making a 16-4 scoring run, pushing out to their largest lead of the game at twenty.

Working with great momentum from the scoring run, UNF responded and pushed back out. In the closing moments of the first half, however, B-CU made an 8-2 scoring run to shorten the gap, and head into the half down thirteen, 40-27.
