Following a 60-37 victory at NJIT on Saturday, the Stetson women's basketball team will go for its 12th win in a row Monday night at USC Upstate. Tip-off between the Hatters and Spartans is scheduled for 7 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN3 and WSBB radio.

The Hatters (22-5, 11-1 ASUN) enter Monday's game tied for first place in the league standings with FGCU with just two games remaining in the regular season.  Stetson has already clinched a top-2 seed for the ASUN tournament and home court advantage through the conference semifinals.

Stetson is tied for 13th in the NCAA with 22 victories on the season.  The Hatters' 11-game win streak is third-best in school history and the eighth-longest active streak in the NCAA.

The Hatters lead the all-time series 14-6 over the Spartans (9-18, 2-10), including an 80-68 win in DeLand on Jan. 21.  

What does Stetson have to do to complete the season sweep?

"I think we have to continue to guard," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said.  "USC Upstate runs a very good dribble drive offense and they penetrate really well, so we have to be ready to guard, and we have to be ready rebound.  They are a very good rebounding team."

In addition to the live broadcasts, live stats, the Stetson women's basketball twitter feed (@StetsonWBB), and the HatCheck text messaging system will provide live updates as well.
