JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Armada FC are looking to build momentum as they enter the backend of the preseason when they take on the University of North Florida Ospreys. Wednesday’s match will take place at UNF’s Hodges Stadium, the new home for the Armada during the 2017 season, with kickoff scheduled for 10 a.m.

Wednesday’s match will be the second meeting between the Armada FC and the Ospreys. The teams battled for the first time last year when they faced off at Hodges Stadium in a preseason exhibition that ended in a 0-0 stalemate. The Armada FC are undefeated against college opponents this preseason, defeating Flagler College in a dominant 5-0 victory, and tying Jacksonville University, 1-1.

The Armada FC are coming off a 1-1 draw against first-ranked college preparatory school Montverde Academy this past Saturday. Striker Jonathan Glenn scored his second goal of the preseason late in the second half of the match to bring the Armada FC even with Montverde.

UNF finished first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference during the 2016 campaign, but came up short in the playoffs when they fell to JU in the conference semifinals, 1-0. The Ospreys defeated the 11th ranked team in the nation in a thrilling 3-2 victory when they traveled to Fort Myers to take on Florida Gulf Coast during the regular season. North Florida ended the regular season on a high note by winning five of their six final games, including the upset victory over Florida Gulf Coast.

Below is a breakdown of each team and the match.
