The teams last met on Nov. 29, 2010, a 70-52 Stetson victory at the Edmunds Center. The Hatters are 7-0 all-time vs. the Gamecocks in DeLand.

Last Time Out
Behind a dominant second-half performance, Stetson extended its win streak to five in a row with a 63-45 victory over Central Arkansas Saturday afternoon at the Farris Center. Stetson took over in the third quarter, outscoring the Sugar Bears 23-5 for the period. That included a 16-0 Hatter run to break the game open. Stetson cranked up the defensive pressure, forcing Central Arkansas into 12 second half turnovers that led to 22 Hatter points. Yazz Wazeerud-Din led three Hatters in double figures with 18 points.

Team Defense
The Hatters have held 14 of their 23 opponents to under 60 points this season, and Stetson is 12-2 in those games. At 55.1 points allowed per game, Stetson's defense ranks second in the ASUN and 25th in the NCAA. The Hatters also rank 37th in the NCAA in field goal pct. defense (.363).

Five Straight And Counting
Here are some notes on the team's current 5-game win steak:

What's Ahead
The schedule is about to get much tougher. Here are some notes on Stetson's upcoming games:
► The Hatters next two games will come against the two ASUN Division leaders Jacksonville State and FGCU
► Stetson's next four games will all come against teams with winning records (combined .816 win pct.)
► Four of the next six games will come against teams Stetson has already lost to this season

Winning on the Road
The Hatters have already won eight games on the road this season (away+neutral), good for third in the league behind FGCU (11) and Liberty (9). It is Stetson's highest win total since winning 11 road games in the 2016-17 season.

Turner Crashing The Boards
Jamiya Turner has really stepped up her game of late. The Hatters junior collected a career-high 15 rebounds vs. Bellarmine, then recorded a 13-point, 13-rebound double-double vs. Eastern Kentucky and a 13-point, 10-rebound double-double vs. Lipscomb. She is averaging 11.8 points and 9.4 rebounds over the past five games.

Take It Away

Head Coach Lynn Bria is in her 14th season with the Hatters and 27th season overall. The all-time winningest coach in program history, Bria holds a Stetson record of 245-188. She is two wins shy of 400 career.
