JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The No. 25 FGCU women's basketball team (16-2, 3-0) will face a challenge on Monday with a 7 p.m. matchup against RPI top-75 North Florida (9-7, 2-1) on the road.
 
While FGCU is 24-3 all-time in the series, the Ospreys are the last team to defeat the Eagles in conference play (Feb. 1, 2018) and that game was also the last time the Green and Blue lost a game as a ranked opponent. That game, however, was one of two that Tytionia Adderly missed due to injury that year.

Storylines
- The Green and Blue has earned the program's first national ranking since April 2018 after being slotted 25th in the USA Today Coaches Poll. FGCU is 12-2 as a ranked Division I program.
- The Eagles, who enter Saturday's game tied with several others for the most wins in the nation, have won 31 consecutive conference games, which is now the third-longest streak in the nation behind UConn (139) and Baylor (43). Mercer, who had won 34 straight, had their streak snapped against Furman on Thursday.
- In games against Division I competition, FGCU has produced the only instances in all of Division I women's basketball with at least 19 made 3-point field goals this year. Campbell tallied 19 against non D-I St. Andrews on Nov. 5. The Eagles also have three of the top seven totals this year after draining 18 against Stetson on Saturday.
- Defensively, the Green and Blue are tied with Morgan State for the fewest turnovers in any game this year nationally (3), and FGCU has two of those three such games.
- Tytionia Adderly became the first player in program history to reach 1,000 rebounds against Lipscomb. The team's next potential milestone could come via Ashli O'Neal, who is 22 points shy of reaching 1,000 in her career.
- Adderly, meanwhile, is now one of only two players in the program's Division I history to rank in the top five in career rebounds, assists and steals (Courtney Chihil).
- FGCU, which leads the nation in 3-point field goals, has made 222 of the ASUN's 964 3-pointers, or 23 percent of the entire nine-team conference's total.
 
Wingate on A Tear
Davion Wingate is averaging a career-best 17.1 points per game following her 19-point outing against Stetson. The senior guard, who transferred from Stony Brook and suited up for the Green and Blue for the first time last year, carried over a strong finish to last season in which she scored at least 13 points in four of the final five games en route to leading the ASUN in 3-point field goal percentage at .434. This year, she has started even better, scoring in double-figures in all but three games while shooting .578 from the field, .476 from 3-point range and .833 from the foul line. In fact, after her outing against Duke, she now qualifies for the ASUN's all-time 3-point percentage leaders list, and she ranks third (.457, 79-for-173) at her current pace.
 
Rebounding Legend, All-Around Great
Senior forward Tytionia Adderly became the first player in program history, and just the 12th in ASUN history, to reach 1,000 career rebounds with her 11-rebound effort against Lipscomb. She now has 1,023 and is on the verge of moving into the top 10 in conference history.
 
Meanwhile, Adderly is now one of only two players in the program's Division I history to rank in the top five in career rebounds, assists and steals (Courtney Chihil). Her 13 career double-doubles ranks as the third-most in the program's Division I era behind Sarah Hansen (20) and Whitney Knight (19). The overall leader is Robyn Swain, who had 28 from 2002-04 in the first two seasons of the program.
 
On top of all that, Adderly ranks third among all active Division I women's basketball players in career rebounds.

RPI Heights Reached Few Times Before
In addition to the national polls, FGCU opened at No. 15 in this year's first official NCAA RPI on Dec. 9, which was the program's second-highest slot all-time behind a No. 13 ranking on March 8 and 9 of 2015. In fact, the Eagles were ranked 19th or better 15 times during that 2014-15 season. Outside of this year, the only other time the Green and Blue achieved that high of an RPI was Dec. 31, 2017 (19th). The Eagles are currently ranked 36th through three games of conference play.
 
Furthermore, FGCU's only two losses this year came to No. 24 Princeton (21st) and LSU (37th). And they've defeated five other current top 100 RPI teams - Duke (45th), UCF (53rd), Temple (56th), Liberty (93rd) and South Dakota State (99th). Aside from Liberty, North Florida (72nd) gives the ASUN three top 100 teams so far.
 
Bracketology
Charlie Creme's latest NCAA Bracketology has seen FGCU remain at an No. 8 seed and slotted in the Waco Region against No. 9 Tennessee.
 
O'Neal Ties Record, Wingate Captures 1st Player Of The Week Honor
Ashli O'Neal recently won her fourth ASUN newcomer of the week award of the season, allowing her to surpass Destiny Washington (2018-19), Keri Jewett-Giles (2018-19), Rosemarie Julien (2016-17) and Sarah Hansen (2010-11) for the most ASUN newcomer of the week awards in program history. She is now two short of matching the conference's all-time record, and her most recent selection also represented the 31st time a member of the Green and Blue has won the award.
 
Meanwhile, Wingate earned her first career ASUN player of the week nod after she became the first player to produce back-to-back games with 30-or-more points in program history. After registering a career-high 31 points in a Dec. 22 win over Temple on the road, the senior guard made 10-of-19 from the field, including 5-of-9 from long range, to help the Eagles knock off the Blue Devils in Alico Arena.

ASUN Dominance
FGCU joined the ASUN prior the 2007-08 season and immediately saw success among the ranks, winning 84 of their first 85 conference home games and now having lost just four ASUN regular season games since 2011-12. The team has won nine of the past 12 regular-season championships with a record of 189-16 over that span, while also never finishing lower than second in the final standings and maintaining a 101-2 record in ASUN games played at Alico Arena entering 2019-20. If that isn't enough, the Eagles are 125-4 against ASUN competition in the regular season and won six of eight tournament titles since earning postseason eligibility during the 2011-12 season.

Runnin' Thru The ASUN
Just how much has FGCU dominated the ASUN since joining the conference in 2007-08? Among current member schools, here's how the Eagles stack up in regular season conference wins and overall wins since then. The numbers are through last year.
 

Conference Wins (Since 2007-08)
FGCU	186-16
Stetson	125-77
Jacksonville	112-90
Kennesaw State	78-124
North Florida	74-128
Lipscomb	46-155

 
 

Overall Wins (Since 2007-08)
FGCU	331-70
Stetson	219-166
Jacksonville	197-176
North Florida	133-227
Kennesaw State	132-224
Lipscomb	79-279

Streaking Through The ASUN
The Eagles have won 31-straight ASUN games (including postseason) dating back to a Feb. 3, 2018 win over Jacksonville, which is now the third-longest current streak in the nation after Quinnipiac's 52-game streak and Mercer's 34-game streak was snapped. It also ranks among the top 20 all-time in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
 

Longest Conference Winning Streaks
Division I
Rk.	School	Streak
1.	UConn	139
2.	Baylor	43
3.	FGCU	31
4.	Rice	23
5.	S. Dakota St.	20

 
Overall, FGCU has a pair of 44-game ASUN regular season winning streaks, which are both tied with Baylor and Hampton for the 12th-longest conference streaks in NCAA Division I history entering 2019-20. Interestingly, both 44-game streaks started against ETSU. The first one began on Dec. 3, 2011 and ended on Feb. 1, 2014 vs Northern Kentucky. The second one began Feb. 6, 2014 and ended Feb. 4, 2017 vs Jacksonville. The first one spanned parts of three seasons, while the second one saw parts of four seasons.
 
Defensive Prowess Against The ASUN
Since joining the ASUN in 2007-08, FGCU has held opponents to 39 or fewer points 19 times in conference play. The program record for fewest points allowed in a conference game is 24, which came in a 32-point win over North Florida Feb. 25, 2015.

FGCU's Notable ASUN Achievements
- In 2018-19, FGCU finished undefeated in ASUN play and won the conference tournament in the same season for the third time since the program became eligible for the tournament in 2011-12. Prior to that, only one other team (FIU, 1992-93) had accomplished that in the now 34-year history of the conference. On top of that, the Eagles now own five undefeated regular seasons since 2012 alone. The conference has only seen two other such seasons since 1986 (FIU, 1995-96 and FIU, 1992-93).
 
- FGCU is just the fourth ASUN women's basketball program to win three straight ASUN tournament championships and the first since 2008-10 (ETSU). Also, Georgia State won three-straight from 2001-03 (3 straight), while FIU nabbed four straight from 1992-96.
 
- The Eagles have appeared in eight consecutive ASUN tournament championship games, the longest streak in conference history. The previous records were Georgia Southern (1986-90, five straight), FIU (1992-95, four straight), Georgia State (2000-03, four straight) and ETSU (2007-10, four straight).
 
- FGCU's win over Liberty in last year's ASUN championship game gave them the most conference tournament wins in ASUN history with 22 (in only 24 games over eight years), surpassing FIU's 21, which took them 11 years, and Georgia State's 20, which took 20 years. FGCU has done it in eight years of eligibility. The next closest current ASUN member is Jacksonville with 16.
 
- On a related note, the Green and Blue's .917 winning percentage in the conference tournament tops anyone else. The closest current member is Jacksonville (16-15, .516) and the best former members include FIU (21-5, .809) and Georgia Southern (13-4, .765).

- FGCU has led the conference in scoring average the past three seasons, margin of victory the past five years, 3-point field goals per game every year in the ASUN, turnover margin every year since 2009-10 and steals per game the past two years.
 
- FGCU is looking to become the first ASUN program (past or present) to win 10 regular season conference championships. They are currently tied with FIU at nine, but FGCU has nine outright titles, while FIU has seven. Additionally, the Eagles have dominated the league so much that only one other current member school has an ASUN regular season title (Stetson, 2017).

*FGCU's Division-I debut |  ^ NCAA Tournament | #WNIT

 
1,000 NCAA Points, Finished Career with Green and Blue
FGCU currently has 17 players in the program's Division I history that have eclipsed 1,000 points at the NCAA Division I level and finished their NCAA careers at FGCU. This year's team already has three of those 17, while Ashli O'Neal is attempting to join the club and make this year's squad the first in program history to have four players eclipse 1,000 in the same season.
 
The last Eagles squad to dress four with 1,000 points, although their milestone points came in different seasons, was the 2015-16 team consisting of Whitney Knight, Kaneisha Atwater, Taylor Gradinjan and Stephanie Haas.
 
With her career-best 35-point performance against LSU, Keri Jewett-Giles moved into the top 10 of the most prolific NCAA scorers to ever wear the Green and Blue. She is now the third-highest scoring player who transferred into FGCU as she sits behind only Kaneisha Atwater (VCU, 1,498) and Jordin Alexander (Brown, 1,329).
 
The full list is as follows:

Deepest Backcourt in the Nation?
Should Ashli O'Neal score 18 more points and reach 1,000 in her career, it would make FGCU the only Division I women's basketball school in the entire nation with a roster featuring four guards that have reached that milestone.

In fact, the Eagles would become one of only two rosters in the country with four current players of any position to reach 1,000 career points, joining Oregon. Furthermore, only five teams currently have three or more players with the milestone mark behind their name.

Oregon - Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard, Minyon Moore, Satou Sabally
FGCU - Keri Jewett-Giles, Nasrin Ulel, Davion Wingate
James Madison - Kamiah Smalls, Jackie Benitez, Lexie Barrier
Purdue - Dominique Oden, Ae'Rianna Harris, Karissa McLaughlin
North Alabama- Ivy Wallen, Emma Wallen, Brittany Panetti
 
Most Points Scored By A Two-Year Transfer (Division I Era)
Keri Jewett-Giles, a graduate senior who initially started her career at Southern Miss, is now among the top five most prolific scoring two-year transfers - among points scored at FGCU only - in the program's Division I era. She surpassed Erica Nelson (582, 2016-18) for fourth place in the win over Central Connecticut State and is on pace to potentially grab the top spot by season's end. Davion Wingate, who started her career at Stony Brook, recently entered the top 10 after her career-best performance against Temple.

Degrees And Buckets
Since the arrival of Jordin Alexander from Brown University for the 2016-17 season, FGCU has had tremendous success with graduate transfers, including the program's first such two-year player, Lisa Zderadicka. This year, Ashli O'Neal is continuing that tradition.

Rise of Ulel
Nasrin Ulel, who played just over eight minutes per game off the bench as a freshman, started 34 of 36 games as a sophomore while averaging nearly 10 points per game. Last year, she tallied a team-high 14.6 points per contest while ascending to ASUN player of the year recognition. This season, she became just the 10th player in the program's Division I era to reach 1,000 points in the Green and Blue - despite scoring just 99 as a freshman. She is currently ranked eighth in the program's Division I era in career points with 1,150.
 
She's Back!
On Aug. 1, Keri Jewett-Giles announced that she would return for her graduate senior year after initially deciding to step away from basketball to work on a non-profit organization she intended to start. The announcement provided a big boost for the Eagles, who had already secured the addition of Indiana State graduate transfer, Ashli O'Neal. Those two have joined Nasrin Ulel and Davion Wingate to join one of, if not the best, group of guards in the nation.

Junior Alyssa Blair, who started her career as a walk-on, earned a full scholarship prior to the season. The team surprised her during a game of Ellen's "Heads Up" app during a team bonding session.
 
Clutch DNA
Kerstie Phills (Bobby) and Davion Wingate (David) are the daughters of former NBA stars. The late Bobby Phills played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets, while David Wingate won an NCAA title at Georgetown and played 15 years in the NBA with six teams.

Going Streaking
Since taking over as FGCU's head coach, head coach Karl Smesko has guided the program to 15 winning streaks lasting at least 10 games, led by a 34-game streak from Nov. 16, 2006 to March 22, 2007. The top Division I era winning streak is 26 games from Dec. 6, 2014 to March 21, 2015, and he led the Eagles to a 19-game streak last year, which was the third-longest in the nation when it was snapped in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Power of Alico Arena
Since opening its doors in December 2002, Alico Arena has served as the centerpiece of FGCU athletics … and a nightmare for opposing women's basketball teams. In fact, over a stretch that spanned nine years, the Green and Blue won 75 consecutive ASUN regular season games. Entering the Kennesaw State matchup on Jan. 20, the Eagles have produced the following numbers at home.
 
274-20 (.932) in games at Alico Arena
196-14 (.933) in Division-I era games at Alico Arena
101-2 (.981) in ASUN regular season games at Alico Arena

Shattering Records To Open The Season
FGCU had a record-breaking start to the season in a big win over Florida International on the road. The Eagles not only used a 47-0 run in the first half to break the game open, but they outscored FIU 41-2 in a record-breaking second quarter. FGCU previously had not scored more than 37 points in any quarter since the NCAA switched to quarters, and the two points allowed is tied for the second-fewest they've allowed in any quarter.
 
Furthermore, the 41-point outburst was the highest-scoring second quarter in NCAA history since the switch to quarters (T-5th most in any quarter), and the 39-point margin in the frame is also a national record for a quarter. The 100-point outburst overall was also the 18th time FGCU has reached the century mark in program history, including the second consecutive such performance against FIU.
 
As of Jan. 9, that game continues to rank among the best performances in the country as several of FGCU's team statistical performances rank among the best in any game this year:
 
- their 52 3-point field goals attempted is four more than any other team
- their 19 made 3-point field goals is the most made against a Division I program
- their three turnovers is tied for the fewest in a game
 
Rare Air
FGCU is just one of four programs at the NCAA Division I level to win 25 or more games in each season since 2010-11. The others? UConn, Baylor and Notre Dame.
 
Smesko's Preparation
Head coach Karl Smesko's game preparation is one of the most crucial factors in the Eagles' all-time success. Overall, in 17+ seasons at FGCU, Smesko holds a record of 178-31 (.852) in games where he has four or more days to prepare, including the most recent such game vs Stetson.
 
Coaching Staff Shuffle, Coaching Tree Grows
This past offseason, associate head coach Chelsea Banbury took the head job at High Point University, while assistant coach Jenna Cobb left the program as she got married and moved across the country. Banbury, outside of hiring former Akron head coach Jodi Kest, loaded up on former Eagles while comprising her staff. She hired Jaime Gluesing as assistant coach/recruiting coordinator, Brittany Brown as assistant coach and Jessica Cattani as director of basketball operations.
 
Meanwhile, Coach Smesko elevated Chelsea Lyles to associate head coach, while hiring one of the program's top former point guards, Shannon Murphy, in an assistant coach role. On top of that, Mandi Pierce was promoted from director of basketball operations to assistant coach, and Janelle Silver was hired as the video coordinator to replace another promotion - Sydnei McCaskill to director of operations.
 
Winningest Of All-Time?
Looking ahead, Coach Smesko has the Eagles on pace to become Division I's all-time leader in winning percentage by the end of 2020-21 season once FGCU reaches the required 10 years of full NCAA Division I membership.
 
The Eagles were 463-92 (.834) as a program entering 2019-20. The only other team that held an .800 or above percentage entering this year is Tennessee (.808).

COACH SMESKO
FGCU head coach Karl Smesko led the 2018-19 Eagles to the program's fifth undefeated conference regular season since 2011-12, as well as the ninth consecutive season with at least 25 victories. The Green and Blue finished 28-5 overall and 16-0 in ASUN play, capturing the team's ninth ASUN regular season championship and sixth ASUN tournament championship. The team finished the season receiving votes in the final AP Poll and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in eight seasons before falling to host No. 19 Miami in the first round. It was the team's 12th-straight postseason appearance in 12 years of Division-I existence - the only program to ever do such.

Over the past five seasons, Smesko has guided FGCU to three 30-plus win seasons while recording a 149-28 (.841) record overall. That win total ranks eighth-best in the nation over that stretch - the most among all mid-majors and ahead of programs such as Oregon State and Stanford.

Including 2018-19, Smesko has also guided the Eagles to 15-straight 20-win seasons. He maintains a record of 540-121 (.817) overall in his career (third highest winning percentage among active D1 coaches behind only UConn's Geno Auriemma and Baylor's Kim Mulkey), including a 189-16 (.922) mark in ASUN play. Over the past eight+ seasons, including this year, he has guided FGCU to a 127-4 (.969) record in conference play with five undefeated seasons. The now nine-time ASUN Coach of the Year earned his 400th career coaching win in 2014-15 in just 493 career games, two games faster than Auriemma.
