FGCU asserted themselves from beyond the arc, and that was the story of this game.

Kaela Webb scored 11 points in 19 minutes off the bench, and it’s going to be player’s like her having big games, which will be key to more Eagles victories.

FGCU heads into the matchup next week with Liberty University without Kierstan Bell, but with a huge opportunity to earn the #1 seed with a win over the Flames. The ASUN Conference matchup of the week will be the Eagles vs Flames, and you better believe all the ASUN Conference women’s teams have a vested interest in this game.
