Despite a six point deficit at halftime, the Mercer women were able to score and fend off the pesky UNF Lady Osprey's to win 65-61. The win moved Mercer (12-9, 8-4) into a tie for the 3rd spot in the Atlantic Sun, a far cry from where they've traditionally been in the standings for the past two years. A scrappy 17 point effort from Courtney Ford was the difference, shutting down the Lady Osprey's Brittany Kirkland, the top scorer for the losing team. Kirkland gave UNF life with 2 minutes left in the 1st Half, reeling off four 3-pointers to swing the momentum of the game. However, Mercer's response in the Second Half was more consistent. LaToya Jackson hit clutch free throws at the end of the game to seal the deal, finishing with 15 points.
