Stetson women's soccer closes out the home portion of its 2014 schedule this weekend with a pair of games at the Athletic Training Center, and both matches have their own special significance.

The Hatters host Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida on Friday at 7 p.m. needing a victory to stay alive in the chase for an A-Sun Tournament bid. On Sunday the Hatters say goodbye to seniors Carmen Bernecker and Alexis Trybinksi when they host South Carolina State at 3 p.m.

Stetson (3-11-1 overall) is 1-4-0 in conference play following a pair of home losses last weekend. The Hatters are currently in seventh place in the A-Sun standings, one point behind Northern Kentucky for the sixth and final spot in the conference tournament.

North Florida (5-9-1) enters the weekend tied for second place with Lipscomb at 3-1-1. Both teams are five points behind league-leading FGCU. The Ospreys can move closer to securing a first-round tournament bye with a victory on Friday.

On Sunday the Hatters will toast Bernecker and Trybinski against the Bulldogs (1-11-0). Both will be honored in pregame ceremonies.

Fans have several ways to follow this weekend's action. Both games will be streamed live on HatterVision, Live Stats will be available for both games, and fans can follow the Hatters on the team's Twitter feed @StetsonWSoccer.

General Admission tickets for both games are $5 for adults and $4 for seniors and students. All home soccer matches are free to Stetson students, faculty, and staff with a Stetson University ID. For more information, call (386) 738-HATS.
