Better Off Single
FGCU has held opponents to single-digit quarters 20 times in conference play, including once against Jacksonville on Saturday.
 
Breakout Star
Nasrin Ulel (429 points) is on pace for 489 points this season, which would rank her seventh in program history - just behind Whitney Knight's 504 points from 2014-15, and it would check in fourth-best in the Division-I era. She has already scored 87 more points than she did all of last year - in eight fewer games. Furthermore, Ulel's 15.3 PPG is currently the fourth-best single season average overall and second-best in the Division-I era.
 
Alico Arena Tidbits
Nasrin Ulel is eighth in Alico Arena history with 75 3-point field goals made. Should she maintain her current 16.9 PPG season average at home, she would become one of just four players in program history to attain a 16 PPG or higher average throughout a single season at home. In fact, she is currently tied with Sarah Hansen's 2012-13 campaign for the best in the Division-I era.

Tytionia Adderly's 446 rebounds is just 18 shy of passing Sarah Hansen (463, 2010-14) for the most in Alico Arena history. In the team's win over North Alabama on Feb. 5, she passed Hansen (174, 2010-14) for the arena's offensive rebounding record and now has 181. With her six points in last weekend's win over Kennesaw State, she has exactly 300 points in her home career.
 
The trio of Adderly (14 vs North Alabama, Feb. 5, 2019), Ulel (11 vs Jacksonville, Feb. 2, 2019) and Davion Wingate (11 vs Johnson and Wales, Dec. 14, 2018) have produced three of Alico Arena's 14 best single games in field goals made this year alone.
 
Best in Program History
Tytionia Adderly, who was ranked as the best rebounder in program history by head coach Karl Smesko in a recent post-game interview, is only eight rebounds shy of joining Sarah Hansen (887, 2010-14) as one of just two players in program history with at least 800 career rebounds.
 
I'll Take Two For 1,000, Alex
Destiny Washington (1,029 points) became the second Eagle on this year's team to join the 1,000 point club in the team's road win over Lipscomb, joining fellow senior Lisa Zderadicka (1,035 points). They're just two of 14 players to reach the milestone while wearing the Green and Blue. A 15th - Jordin Alexander - reached 1,000 points prior to joining FGCU.

Three others are also approaching 1,000 points, led by Nasrin Ulel (870), Keri Jewett-Giles (830) and Davion Wingate (813).
 
Washington Does It All
Destiny Washington is just the second player in program history, along with Whitney Knight, to reach at least 1,000 points, 600 rebounds, 100 blocks, 100 steals and 100 assists while wearing the Green and Blue.

Here's where the she ranks among the program's all-time 1,000 point scorers in those five categories:

Sarah Hansen - 1,901 points, 887 rebounds, 89 blocks, 249 steals, 250 assists
Whitney Knight - 1,574 points, 735 rebounds, 333 blocks, 206 steals and 245 assists
*Kaneisha Atwater - 1,498 points, 584 rebounds, 9 blocks, 192 steals, 298 assists

COACH SMESKO
FGCU head coach Karl Smesko led the 2017-18 Eagles to another historic season. The Green and Blue finished 31-5 overall and 13-1 in ASUN play, capturing the program's eighth ASUN regular season championship and fifth ASUN tournament championship. The team finished the season ranked 25th in the final USA Today Coaches Poll, recaptured the NCAA record for most 3-point field goals made in a season with 431 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in seven seasons, where the Eagles knocked off 5th-seeded and No. 15 ranked Missouri in the opening round. It was the team's second tournament win over the past three appearances. Over the course of the season, FGCU knocked off three ranked teams - No. 15 Missouri, No. 20 Kentucky and No. 21 DePaul.
 
Over the past four seasons, Smesko has guided FGCU to three 30 plus win seasons while recording a 121-23 (.840) record overall. The now eight-time ASUN Coach of the Year rallied the 2016-17 team to its seventh straight 25-win campaign, culminating in an ASUN tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance. In 2015-16, he was named the espnW mid-major coach of the year following a run that witnessed the Eagles claim a WNIT runner-up finish and a Division-I program best ever 33-6 record. In 2014-15, the team achieved its first-ever top-25 ranking and made another trip to the NCAA Tournament, where the Eagles earned a No. 7 seed and won the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament game, toppling No. 10 seed Oklahoma State.
 
Smesko has guided the Eagles to 15-straight 20-win seasons (including 2018-19) and eight-straight 25-win seasons. He maintains a record of 520-118 (.815) overall in his career, including a 185-16 (.920) mark in ASUN play. Over the past seven + seasons, he has guided FGCU to a 123-4 (.969) record in conference play with four undefeated seasons. Smesko earned his 400th career coaching win in 2014-15 in just 493 career games, two games faster than UConn's Geno Auriemma. Entering 2018-19, he ranked among an elite list of just four active Division I coaches with a career win percentage of .800 or higher, joining Auriemma, Baylor's Kim Mulkey and Stanford's Tara VanDerveer in the esteemed group. Second-year NCAA Division-I head coaches Nancy Fahey (Illinois) and Bart Brooks (Belmont) pushed the list to six.
