Senior Day

Prior to the start of Saturday's match, Mercer will honor the following six seniors:

Morgan and Casillas are both graduate students that transferred to Mercer before this season. Although their time as a Bear has been short, both veterans have made instant impacts on the squad.

O'Hearn is in his second season at Mercer. The goalkeeper has one appearance as a Bear where he posted a clean sheet against Winthrop.

Cummins, Redd and Arteaga have been a Bear throughout their entire collegiate careers. All three were members of Mercer's 2023 squad that lifted the seventh Southern Conference trophy in program history.

The ceremony is slated to begin at 6:45 p.m. EST. Admission is free.

Looking at the Bears

Entering this contest, Mercer remains undefeated at home in 2025. The Bears are 2-0-2 in matches at Betts Stadium, outscoring opponents 7-2 in front of their home crowd.

Ehi Aimiuwu bagged his second goal of the season in the 2-1 loss to No. 24 Denver this past Sunday, tying freshman Tolu Adeyemi and Casillas to be the Bears' leading scorer.

Freshman Eli Bannister scored the first goal of his collegiate career in the loss to Air Force last Thursday before snagging his first career assist on Aimiuwu's goal against Denver.

Henry Hampshaw continues to impress between the posts in his first season at the Division I level. The transfer from William Carey has 28 saves across his eight starts and has two clean sheets this year.

Scouting the Ospreys

North Florida enters this match with a 4-3-0 record. The Ospreys are riding a three-match winning streak that includes a 5-0 victory over then No. 19 Florida Atlantic, a 4-1 win over Coastal Carolina and a 2-0 shutout against South Carolina.

Luc Granitur and Jaxon Reinhardt lead UNF with three goals apiece. The pair of redshirt seniors were both members of the Ospreys' 2024 team that lifted the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.

Luciano Natoli is in his second season as North Florida's starting goalkeeper. The Miami Beach, Florida, native has a 10-8-3 record over 22 starts across his two years in Jacksonville. Natoli has only conceded one goal while saving six shots across the Ospreys' recent run.
