Hatters Look to Regroup Saturday at Lipscomb

Stetson concludes its latest ASUN Conference road trip when the Hatters visit Lipscomb, 5 p.m., Saturday, in Nashville, Tenn. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3.

The Hatters (10-11, 2-2) are looking to bounce back from losses in their last two games, including a 95-81 setback on Thursday at Kennesaw State. Divine Myles led the Hatters with 22 points, but Stetson shot just 5 of 26 from 3-point range while allowing the Owls to shoot at a 58-percent clip for the game.

Lipscomb (11-8, 1-3) is mired in a three-game losing streak, including a stunning loss to FGCU on Thursday at home. The Bisons held an 18-point lead with just over 13 minutes to go and suffered an 88-83 loss in regulation as the Eagles rallied.

Angel Rivera made some history on Thursday for the Hatters, breaking Frank Ireland's 27-year old school record for career assists. Rivera dished his 527^th assist in the second half and now stands alone in the Hatters' record book.
