Last Time Out 
Stetson turned in a stifling defensive performance for a full 40 minutes to defeat Lipscomb 48-34 Saturday afternoon at Allen Arena. The Hatters (9-12, 3-5 ASUN) held the Lady Bisons to just 15 points in the second half and 21 percent shooting for the game to post their second win in a row. Offensively, Stetson broke open what was a 19-19 halftime tie with a 14-0 run in the third quarter. Jon'Nita Henry and Kimia Carter each hit 3-pointers to get the scoring run started. For the game, Carter led the way with 14 points, while Day'Neshia Banks registered a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double performance.  Stetson committed just three turnovers in the second half and shot 40 percent from the field.

Carter Playing With Confidence
Freshman Kimia Carter has scored in double figures in three straight games, including a 14-point outing at Lipscomb on Saturday.  She averaging 15.0 points-per-game in the past three games with six 3-pointers and a .452 field goal percentage.  In ASUN play, she is averaging 11.1 ppg, which ranks third among all ASUN freshmen.

"She is just improving every day," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said.  "She is starting to get it now. She understands the pace. She understands the physicality.  She is just playing at a higher level now, and it's been good to watch. She is just playing with a lot of confidence."

Big Year on the Boards
The Hatters currently lead the ASUN in rebounding (41.0) and rank second in rebound margin (+5.8), totals that rank 58th and 56th, respectively, in the NCAA. Stetson has topped the 40-rebound mark as a team 12 times this season, something they did just four times last season. 

Defense, Defense, Defense
On Saturday, Stetson held Lipscomb to 34 points, an all-time low for a Stetson ASUN opponent.  The Hatters also limited the Bisons to just 21 percent shooting.  Overall, Stetson leads the ASUN in field goal pct. defense (.348) and blocked shots (98). 

Turnover Turnaround
Through the first 19 games of the season, Stetson averaged 19.9 turnovers-per-game overall and 20.5 TOPG in ASUN play.  In the two games since, the Hatters committed just 10 turnovers Monday vs. NJIT, and 16 turnovers Saturday at Lipscomb.  Of those 16, the team committed just three turnovers in the second half.
