Thirty games are in the books. Now the second season is about to begin.

The third-seeded Stetson Hatters (17-13) will host the sixth-seeded UNF Ospreys (12-17) in the ASUN quarterfinals Friday night at the Edmunds Center. Tip-off is set for 7:03 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN3.

It will be the first-ever postseason meeting between the Hatters and Ospreys.

The winner will advance to the semifinal round to play the Jacksonville-Kennesaw State winner on Wednesday. The ASUN Championship will be held on March 11 with the winner receiving the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The Hatters enter the postseason having won two of their last three games.

"I really like the way we have been playing lately," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "We finally put back-to-back games together, we played hard and we played extremely well. I tell the team all the time, it doesn't matter how you start - people don't remember that. It is all about the finish. We have got some momentum and I really like what we are doing right now."

Tickets are on sale now and cost $10 for general admission and $12 for reserved seats. Tickets for youth (3-17) and ASUN students (with valid ID) cost $5.

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