DeLand, Fla. -- The fourth-seeded Stetson Hatters (18-10) will host the fifth-seeded Kennesaw State Owls (11-18) in the Atlantic Sun Conference quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Friday night at the Edmunds Center.

The winner will advance to the semifinal round on March 9 to play the winner of FGCU and NJIT.  The Championship game will be held on March 13.

Stetson swept the regular season series from KSU, but the Hatters know they need to step up their game come Friday night.

"They are a good team, and they have good balance inside and outside," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said about the Owls.  "They will make adjustments, and they will play better.  I don't think there is any doubt about that, so we have to play better than we did the last time we played them. Anything can happen in the first round, and anything can happen in March."

Tickets are on sale now with price ranges of $10 for general admission, $12 for reserved and $20 for premium seating.  Tickets for youth (3-17) and Atlantic Sun students (with valid ID) cost $5.  

Season ticket holders have the priority to purchase their season ticket location, but they MUST purchase their tickets in order to attend the game. Once their tickets have been purchased, they can use their season ticket cards for admission. Season ticket holders can call the Hatter Ticket Office at 386.738.HATS or stop by the office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. to secure their season ticket location.

Hatter Athletic Fund All-Conference donors who have been able to park behind the Edmunds Center and access the Hall of Fame Room all season will be able to park behind the Edmunds Center for this game, but there will be no hospitality in the Hall of Fame Room for this event.

Friday's game will be broadcast by ESPN3 and WSBB.
