STORYLINE
The Ospreys had four players score in double figures as they were led by Tesh Hanson, who scored a game-high 17 points. North Florida (11-15, 4-7) opened the game with a 6-0 run and never trailed in the contest, taking advantage of 24 KSU turnovers to post a 25-12 edge in points off turnovers. The Ospreys led 31-22 at halftime and outscored the Owls 22-10 in the third quarter to take a 53-32 lead into the fourth quarter.

QUOTING THE COACH
"I am really proud of Kamiyah. She is just relentless. Her shot was not falling for her and was taking some really tough shots," head coach
Agnus Berenato said. "We told her that everyone is going to be overplaying her, but she got it done on the boards."
Â
BERANATO ON YOUNG
"I feel really bad for
Clara Young. She has done just a great job for us. She is going to be a great leader and ambassador for KSU, and I wish her all the best in the future. She is a winner on and off the court."
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Street recorded her third career double-double and led the Owls in scoring for the 13th time this season and reached double-digits in points for the 16th straight game. Young made her 73rd career start to move into sole possession of fifth place on KSU's Division I era all-time games started list. With 12 points, Mann finished one point shy of her career high of 13 set versus NJIT on Feb. 1.
