DELAND, Fla. (Interstat) — A pivotal ASUN Conference women’s basketball matchup featuring two of the league’s top scorers is set for Saturday when the Stetson Hatters host the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles at Edmunds Center. The Hatters (15-9 overall) enter the contest with a stronger overall record and have won five of their last seven games. Their most recent outing was a narrow 76-70 road loss to Jacksonville on Thursday, despite a career-high 33-point performance from standout guard Mary McMillan. The junior has been a consistent force, averaging 17.4 points over her last seven games and providing versatile playmaking. The Eagles (12-12) have been inconsistent but are coming off a gritty 55-51 road win at North Florida on Thursday. They are led by dynamic guard Sinai Douglas, who poured in 23 points in that victory. Douglas has averaged 14.6 points per game over her last eight contests and will be central to FGCU’s offensive plans. This game represents a critical juncture for both teams as they jockey for conference tournament positioning. Stetson holds a clear edge in the standings, but the Eagles have shown an ability to win on the road, including recent victories at Central Arkansas and North Florida. Containing the opposing star guard will be the primary defensive focus for each squad. The Hatters will look to leverage their home court, where they are 8-3 this season, while FGCU aims to build momentum and reach .500 in conference play. The teams will meet again in just 13 days on Feb. 27 in Fort Myers, adding another layer to this weekend’s showdown. Tip-off is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026.
