What a decade it's been for the Stetson women's basketball program.  Since the start of 2010, the Hatters have amassed over 200 wins, a .635 winning pct. (207-119), three conference championships, eight winning seasons, and nine postseason appearances.

The Hatters will play their final game of the decade on Monday afternoon when they host the Holy Crusaders. Tip-off at the Edmunds Center is scheduled for 2 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN+.

But before the Hatters hit the court for the final time in the 2010s, let's look back at the program's Top 5 moments of the decade.

March 4, 2011 - Miracle in Macon
The first big moment of the decade came in the ASUN Tournaments Semifinals in 2011 when Victoria McGowan drained a half-court heave as time expired to lift Stetson to a 48-46 victory over Belmont in Macon, Ga.  

The Bruins had taken a one-point lead with 1.4 seconds remaining forcing Stetson to go the length of the floor.  McGowan received in the in-bounds pass, dribbled once, then buried a 55-footer that set off a wild celebration.

"I was just trying to get a shot off before the clock ran out, and I didn't think I would have enough time, but I did and I prayed for that to go in," McGowan said after the game.



Stetson advanced to the championship game where they would face the Dolphins...

March 6, 2011 - ASUN Champions
After winning just six games the season before, the Hatters captured the 2011 ASUN Championship with a 69-50 win over Jacksonville.  Stetson hit nine 3-pointers en route to their third ASUN title and their second berth in the NCAA Championship.  McGowan earned MVP honors as the Hatters won their 20th game of the season.  It would be the first of seven straight 20-win seasons for the program.

Stetson went on to face Tennessee in the NCAA Championship.

March 10, 2013 - Miracle in Macon II
Stetson rallied from a 15-point second-half deficit to defeat top-seeded FGCU 70-64 and win the 2013 ASUN Championship.  Sasha Sims broke a 64-64 tie with a 10-foot jumper to the left of the lane with 21 seconds remaining, and Cherisse Burris rebounded a missed 3-point attempt in the closing seconds to seal the win.

"I felt like the start of the second half was a real key," head coach Lynn Bria said after the game. "The last couple times we played them they jumped out on us in the start of the second half. We just hung in there. We got stops when we needed it. I'm just proud of our entire team. It really was a total team effort."

Stetson outscored FGCU 43-24 in the second half.  McGowan and Sims were named to the all-tournament team.  




The Hatters earned a No. 14 seed and faced UCLA in Columbus, Ohio in the first round of the NCAA Championship.

March 21, 2014 - First Postseason Win
Sasha Sims scored a game-high 20 points as the Hatters downed Miami, 70-63, in the opening round of the 2014 WNIT at BankUnited Center.  The victory was the first post-season win in program history. The Hatters also set a new program high-water mark with their 27th win of the season.  Stetson advanced to face USF in the second round of the WNIT.

Feb. 25, 2017 - Regular Season Champions
Forty minutes were not enough, but Brittney Chambers' fade away jumper with 1:14 left in overtime helped lift Stetson to a dramatic 67-64 victory over FGCU at Alico Arena.  The Hatters won their 13th game in a row and clinched their first-ever ASUN regular season championship.  Stetson trailed by three with 3:57 to play in regulation, but baskets by DeAsia Beal and Breana Bey and a free throw by Chambers helped get the game to overtime. The Hatters also halted the Eagles' 75-game ASUN home court win streak that dated back to 2009.  Full recap
