Hatters Opens Conference Play with 5-2 Win over FGCU

Fort Myers, FL – The Stetson Hatters opened Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 5-2 road victory over the FGCU Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The win not only marked their first conference victory but also extended their winning streak to five matches and secured their first road win of the season. It was the Hatters' second consecutive win over the Eagles and their first win in Fort Myers since 2018.

Despite dropping the doubles point, Stetson bounced back in singles play, earning victories on five courts—two of which came after trailing in the first set. Christian Kuehne and Xavier Sarda each recorded their 10th singles win of the season, while Sami Ozzor continued his strong play with his sixth consecutive victory.

Words from Coach Christophe Noblet
"I'm very proud of the guys for showing a lot of toughness today, especially in singles play. Winning on the road in ASUN is never easy and we really had to earn the win by fighting hard and being relentless and doing it on every court. Again, the guys showed a lot of maturity, toughness, togetherness. A good first win in our challenging ASUN slate."
