Lone goal brings third conference win

Spinnaker | Oct 15, 2008
The UNF Ospreys men’s soccer team defeated the Mercer University Bears 1-0 Oct. 11 with sloppy field conditions at Hodges Stadium, giving the Ospreys their third Atlantic Sun Conference victory of the year. The game was a must-win for the Ospreys (6-6-0, 3-1-0 A-Sun) and great opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 loss to Campbell Oct. 9, UNF head coach Ray Bunch said. Although it didn’t rain, the field was covered in mud and water from the days prior, Bunch said. “In these conditions, it’s such a heavy field that it really zaps you, and I think it showed in the second half,” Bunch said. “We were just trying to get the ball in wide and get some crosses.”

Spinnaker | Oct 14, 2008
It all started with one simple idea--what if I could go on a vacation with my own savings? Then I found a reason to do it when my favorite play moved to Broadway in New York City.

Garner: Cross contamination is hindering UNF recycling efforts

Spinnaker | Oct 8, 2008
Cross contamination is hindering efforts to improve recycling at UNF despite new trash cans, recycle bins and raised student awareness, said Jerry Garner, assistant superintendent of the UNF Recycling/Refuse Center. Cross contamination occurs when trash is thrown in with recyclables and must be taken out by hand. “Make a point to put the trash in the trash and the recycle in the recycle,” Garner said. Approximately 150 brown bins for garbage and recycling are located around campus. Costing $825 a piece, the containers are made of recycled plastic and are expected to last longer than normal garbage cans, Garner said.
