Hatters Continue Home Stand Monday Against FIU

Stetson hosts FIU in a men's basketball match-up of two former conference rivals, 7 p.m., Monday at Edmunds Center.
 
Stetson (1-0) and FIU (1-0) were both members of what was then called the Trans America Athletic Conference from 1990 until FIU's departure at the end of the 1998 athletic year. The TAAC is now the Atlantic Sun Conference.
 
Monday's game will be the 22nd meeting in a series which sees the Panthers holding a 14-7 advantage. Stetson, however, won the meeting last season in Miami, rallying from an 18-point first half deficit for an 81-75 win last November.
 
The Hatters opened the new season last Friday with a 78-62 win over visiting Webber. Angel Rivera led four Hatters in double figures with 18 points.
 
FIU picked up a 76-57 win over Florida Memorial in its season-opening contest, also last Friday. Donte McGill led the Panthers with 25 points.
 
Tickets for Monday's game start at $7 and can be purchased on line at www.GoHatters.com or by calling the Stetson Athletic Ticket Office at (386) 738-HATS (4287).
