In 2008 the Ospreys recorded the lowest round of the day at the A-Sun Conference Tournament, and the win guaranteed UNF a spot in an NCAA Regional. It would be the first regional appearance since 2002 breaking a three year streak of second-place finishes in the tournament.

Due to the win, UNF also picked up a point in the Sun Trust River City Rumble standings, placing higher than Jacksonville University by 57 strokes. The Ospreys had a score of 2-over-par and a score of 286 for the tournament.

THIS SEASON
UNF tied for fourth with a score of 612 in the second round at the Reunion Intercollegiate 10 shots behind third place Vanderbilt, one of the top teams in the tournament. It finished the event in fifth place with a 314 three-round total.

In the Gator invitational, the Ospreys placed ninth overall with a round of 287. Senior Jeff Dennis tied for ninth in the individual standings after an even par round of 70.
