Although it was a little to close for comfort, the FGCU women's basketball team took home their fourth straight Atlantic Sun regular season championship after Stephanie Haas sunk two free throws with .2 seconds left to give the Eagles a 74-73 win over Stetson.

Even with the Eagles shooting just 33% from the field, they had five double digit scorers: DyTiesha Dunson 10, Sarah Hansen 15, Whitney Knight 14, Jenna Cobb 14, and Stephanie Haas 16. Knight also recorded ten rebounds for a double-double.

The Hatters dominated the glass 48-37, but the Blue and Green countered through forcing 21 Stetson turnovers on 11 steals.

Now with the No. 1 seed in the A-Sun tournament, Florida Gulf Coast holds home court advantage throughout. They will open with No. 8 Lipscomb on Tuesday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN2.
