Women's Basketball Hosts USC Upstate Saturday

The Edmunds Center is no easy place to play for visiting teams.  

And it just got a whole lot tougher.

The students of Pi Kappa Alpha were out in full force Thursday night, dressed in full regalia and making life difficult for the Kennesaw State Owls.  From crowding the court, erupting during Hatter runs, dancing during timeouts, and chanting for head coach Lynn Bria, the "Pike Pound" lent their full support in Stetson's 75-64 victory over KSU.

"I love my guys, my Pikes," Bria said after the game.  "They just do a great job.  They make the atmosphere so wonderful and they give us such energy.  I just really appreciate their faithfulness.  They have been so good to us.  I can't tell them all enough what a great experience they have made for our players."

Having won nine straight and 24 out of the last 25 games at home, the Hatters (14-4, 3-1 Atlantic Sun) will host USC Upstate (9-10, 1-3) on Saturday afternoon.  Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN3.

Overall, Stetson has won three straight and seven of its last eight games.  Four Hatters are averaging 13.0 points per game or better, including Brianti Saunders who led the way with 19 points against KSU.  

Stetson currently maintains second place in the A-Sun standings, just one game out of first.

The Spartans have dropped four out of five following Thursday's 79-61 setback at FGCU.  Sharmayne Edwards leads USC Upstate in scoring (12.9 ppg).

Tickets start at just $5 and can be purchased online or at the Edmunds Center box office. Stetson faculty, staff, and students are free with a valid ID card.

In addition to the ESPN3 broadcast, fans can listen to the Stetson audio broadcast with Ryan Rouse on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson women's basketball twitter feed, and the HatCheck text messaging system will provide live updates as well.
