The Eagles headed into Highland Heights on Saturday night looking to extend their Atlantic Sun dominance. But instead, NKU halted FGCU, and their streak, 63-43. Prior to last night, the Eagles had won 44 straight Atlantic Sun games, a national record.

Whitney Knight poured in 19 points and added 4 blocks but that was not enough to boost an otherwise stagnant Eagles offense. NKU went on a 19-0 run to end the first half and never looked back.

Florida Gulf Coast is now 14-7 (8-1) on the season and tied for 1st in the A-Sun with rival Stetson. They head to ETSU on Thursday, Feb. 6
