Expectations:

Expect this to be the one of the best teams FGCU has ever put together. Kierstan and TK return set on dominating the ASUN Conference once again, with Kendall Spray, Karli Seay, and Kaela Webb adding to as deep of a team that you’ll ever see under Coach Smesko. Kerstie Phills returns after opting out of last season, and adds even more depth to this team. Aaliyah Stanley played some big minutes last season when Tyra Cox was hurt, and had some huge games for FGCU. We have run out of adjectives to describe this team, get to Alico Arena and watch this team dominate the competition!
