WASHINGTON (August 14, 2025) - Howard University women's soccer returned to Greene Stadium Thursday night - opening the season with a 2-0 loss to the University of North Florida (UNF).

The Bison continued to keep UNF in their cage, blocking a shot down the middle in the 14^th minute.
 
After falling short on their first four attempts, the Ospreys opened the scoring three minutes later with a shot to the lower right corner, 1-0.
 
While Knox recorded two more saves in the half, Gabriella Garcia-Terrell (Centreville, Va.) and Jaileen De Freitas (Miramar, Fla.) made two more attempts at joining the scoreboard but could not connect with the net.
 
UNF managed to get seven shots off in the second half before getting the ball across the line for a 2-0 lead.
 
Six Bison recorded shots while Garcia-Terrell, the 2024 NEC Rookie of the Year, led the way with three attempts (one on goal).
 
Knox finished the night with seven saves through 90 minutes of play.
