After a goal from Miguel DeLeon Jr. tied the game for the Ospreys at one in the first half, the Eagles scored a goal in the 71st minute to advance to the ASUN Men’s Soccer Championship match.

Ivan Rosales opened up the scoring for the Eagles with a goal in the fifth minute on an assist by Shak Adams. 

DeLeon Jr. didn’t take long to answer, scoring in the 11th minute with a chip shot off a feed from LJ Estes. 

At halftime, the score was tied at one apiece. The Ospreys were slow on the attack with only one shot (DeLeon Jr.’s goal). 

O’Vonte Mullings was the hero for the Eagles with a goal in the 71st minute on a dish from Ryan Medilah to secure the 2-1 win over UNF. 

This brings the Ospreys season to a close with four seniors leaving the team.

Currently, Padraic Gilley is first in the ASUN in goals-against average (1.02) and second in the ASUN in save percentage (.727) and goals against (12). 

The UNF Men’s Soccer team resumes their 2020-21 season next fall.
