The North Florida Ospreys women's basketball team represent the University of North Florida (UNF) in women's college basketball. The Ospreys compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun) in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[2]

History

North Florida began play in 1992. As of the end of the 2015-16 season, the Ospreys have an all-time record of 319-373. They have never made the Division I Tournament, but they made the Division II Tournament in 2003 and 2004. They played in the Peach Belt Conference (Division II) from 1997-2005. From its inception until 2015, Mary Tappmeyer coached the team until her contract was not renewed, and she sued the school for sex-discrimination and citing retaliation for complaints. The two parties settled for $1.25 million.[3][4][5]
