JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Kennesaw State softball team could not get its bats going Sunday afternoon as North Florida rode an early lead to a 2-0 victory in the series finale.
 
How it happened: The Ospreys (21-14, 4-5) jumped out in front right away with a leadoff solo homerun from Tiffany Lower to open the bottom of the first inning. UNF added to its lead in the following inning with a single from Rindy Bryant. Bryant would advance to second on a throwing error that would've ended the inning, only to score the unearned run following a single from the next batter.
 
Down 2-0 after two innings, KSU (22-19, 7-5) could not break through with Brea Dickey recording the only hit for the Owls until the top of the seventh inning. 
 
KSU looked to spark a late rally with Kira Czyrklis opening the final frame with a single up the middle. After Katie Greep reached on a fielder's choice, Jade Lee hit a single up the middle to put two on with one out.
 
That would be as close as the Owls would get though as a strikeout and fly out ended the game. 
 
The Owls finished the game hitting .208 with Lee going a team-best 2-for-3 at the plate.
 
Notes: Jade Lee recorded her 10th game this season with two hits, tying Maddie Roth for 11 multi-hit games on the year … This was only the fourth time this year the Owls have been held scoreless … Hailey Andrews finished the game with two strikeouts, five hits allowed and one run earned over her six innings of work.
 
Up next: The Owls return to Bailey Park Wednesday to host Georgia tech in the annual Lexi's Day game Wednesday at 6 p.m.
