FORT MYERS, Fla. - The No. 23 FGCU women's basketball team (27-2, 14-0) will host North Alabama at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday inside Alico Arena. Fans are encouraged to wear blue for the matchup, which will be the second game of a doubleheader with the men's program, and will feature a senior day ceremony prior to the start of the game.
 
While the visiting Lions are fighting for postseason positioning as they enter the game in a three-way tie for second place in the ASUN standings with Jacksonville and Liberty at 9-5, the Eagles look to move one step closer to their sixth undefeated conference regular season since 2012. Prior to then, the last time an ASUN team finished undefeated in the regular season was nearly 25 years ago when FIU went 16-0 in 1995-96. In fact, FIU has the only other two undefeated regular seasons in the entire history of the conference along with their unblemished 1992-93 season.
 
The Green and Blue, who secured a conference-record 10th ASUN regular season title in an 89-64 win over Kennesaw State on Feb. 17, has won 16 straight overall and 42 in a row against ASUN competition, which remains the third-longest streak in the country. In fact, FGCU is one of just seven teams across the nation to remain undefeated in conference play, joining No. 1 South Carolina, No. 2 Baylor, No. 4 UConn, No. 12 South Dakota, No. 21 Princeton and Central Michigan. Overall, their 16-game winning streak and .931 winning percentage are both the fourth-best in the nation. Furthermore, the Eagles are 105-2 all-time against ASUN teams inside Alico Arena during the regular season, and they are 136-4 against conference teams in the regular season since 2011-12.
 
With this year's performance, FGCU is the first ASUN program (past or present) to win 10 regular season conference championships. They were tied with FIU at nine, who only had seven outright titles among those, while all of FGCU's are outright. Additionally, the Eagles have dominated the league so much that only one other current member school has an ASUN regular season title (Stetson, 2017) since they joined the conference.

In addition to being aired on ESPN+, Saturday's game will be broadcasted by David Moulton on Fox Sports Radio (94.1 FM WFSX/1240 AM WNOG – Fort Myers, 103.3 FM - Cape Coral/Fort Myers, 105.9 FM – Naples/Bonita Springs).

Prolific Scoring Matchup
FGCU and North Alabama feature a combined seven NCAA 1,000 point scorers and each team is close to producing three 1,300 point scorers, which is something that only Oregon can say right now. Those seven players - Ivy Wallen (1,706), Emma Wallen (1,587), Keri Jewett-Giles (1,410), Nasrin Ulel (1,317), Davion Wingate (1,293), Brittany Panetti (1,236) and Ashli O'Neal (1,058) have combined for 9,607 points.
 
In fact, five of those seven rank among the top 20 scorers in the ASUN and three of them are among the top 10. Jewett-Giles leads the ASUN in overall scoring (17.0/game) and in conference play alone (18.4/game). The others include Ivy Wallen (T-3rd, 15.7), Wingate (6th, 14.3), Ulel (11th, 13.6) and Emma Wallen (16th, 11.6).
 
Other Storylines
Davion Wingate, who exploded for 25 points in front of a hometown crowd Feb. 17 in Atlanta, is seven points shy of giving FGCU a trio of 1,300-point career scorers as she would join Keri Jewett-Giles (1,405) and Nasrin Ulel (1,317). Only 112 players currently have that many career points nationally, and FGCU would become the second school to accomplish the feat in addition to Oregon. Meanwhile, Jewett-Giles is one of just 75 players nationally with at least 1,400 points.
 
Nasrin Ulel needs five more made 3-pointers to move into the top 10 in ASUN history, while Tytionia Adderly is tied for third among the conference greats in rebounds. She needs 15 more to pass Mercer's Andrea Congreaves (1,141, 1989-93) and move into sole possession of second place. Georgia Southern's Phylette Blake (1,242, 1985-89) holds the top spot.
 
With her five rebounds in Saturday's win over NJIT, Adderly (513) surpassed Sarah Hansen (508, 2010-14) for the most rebounds in program history in ASUN regular season play. She is tied with Courtney Chihil (94, 2009-10) for the most single-season defensive rebounds in ASUN play, and she needs one more to break Hansen's (322) career record in the same category. Chihil also holds the single-season record for rebounds against ASUN teams with 142 in 2009-10, and Adderly is eight shy of shattering that record. The Jupiter, Fla. native also needs 17 more defensive rebounds inside Alico Arena to break Whitney Knight's (120, 2015-16) single-season record.
 
The senior forward already holds the following career and single-season rebounding program records: most total rebounds (630), defensive rebounds (392) and offensive rebounds (238) inside Alico Arena; most single-season total rebounds (172, 2018-19) and offensive rebounds (78, 2017-18) inside Alico Arena; most career offensive rebounds (191) in ASUN play and most offensive rebounds in a single-season against ASUN teams (55, 2017-18); and most career rebounds (513) in ASUN regular season play. Furthermore, she holds all three (overall, defensive, offensive) career and single-season records in the program's Division I era.
 
Series History
FGCU is 6-0 all-time in the series against North Alabama, including a 74-63 win on the road Jan. 18. In that matchup, Keri Jewett-Giles produced a game-high 25 points on 10-for-23 shooting, which included 13 points in the fourth quarter alone. Three of the six wins came prior to each program's Division I era.

Jewett-Giles Lands On National Watch List
Senior point guard Keri Jewett-Giles has been named one of 10 national semifinalists for the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year by Her Hoop Stats. She is one of just 10 players across the nation to earn the honor, joining Bella Alarie of Princeton, Ayzhiana Basallo of San Jose State, Denia Davis-Stewart of Merrimack, Ciara Duffy of South Dakota, Ellie Harmeyer of Belmont, Stella Johnson of Rider, Micaela Kelly of Central Michigan, Chelsey Perry of UT Martin and Sara Rhine of Drake.
 
Jewett-Giles is averaging a team and conference-best 17 points, four rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game this year overall. She has increased her scoring average by a little over four per game from last season and already surpassed her assist, steal, rebound and block totals, as well. She is shooting .459 (184-for-401) from the field and .354 (58-for-164) from long distance. The senior poured in a career-high 35 points against LSU in December and has 11 games with at least 20 points this year, including seven in conference play alone, where she is leading all players with 18.4 PPG.
 
ASUN Weekly Award Success
Keri Jewett-Giles has earned three ASUN player of the week awards this year, while the trio of Tytionia Adderly (Feb. 18), Nasrin Ulel (Feb. 4) and Davion Wingate (Dec. 31) have each added one apiece. Meanwhile, Ashli O'Neal has five ASUN newcomer of the week awards, which is one shy of tying the conference's all-time record. Those who have six include Kayla Gordon (Jacksonville), Jasmine McAllister (Kennesaw State), Keonna Farmer (North Florida) and Breana Bey (Stetson). Only two other players even have five.
 
Jewett-Giles was named the ASUN's player of the week on Jan. 21 for the third time, which pushed her career total to six and moved her within one of tying Whitney Knight for the most in program history. Wingate earned her first career player of the week nod on Dec. 31 after she became the first player to produce back-to-back games with 30-or-more points in program history. Ulel added to that list with her recent 69-point outburst over two games, which was the highest-scoring two-game stretch in program history. Adderly won her second career player of the week honor just this past Tuesday after her continued hot stretch.
 
With her 16-point outburst in the team's home win over Stetson, Anja Marinkovic was named the ASUN's newcomer of the week for the first time in her career.
 
In all, the Eagles have won 12 weekly awards from the conference this season.

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 currently having lost just four ASUN regular season games since 2011-12. Including this year, the team has won 10 of 13 regular-season championships since they joined the ASUN, while also never finishing lower than second in the final standings. If that isn't enough, the Eagles have won six of eight tournament titles since earning postseason eligibility during the 2011-12 season.

Streaking Through The ASUN
The Eagles have won 42 straight ASUN games (including postseason) dating back to a Feb. 3, 2018 win over Jacksonville, which remains the third-longest current streak in the nation after Quinnipiac's 52-game streak and Mercer's 34-game streak was snapped in the recent past. It also ranks among the top 20 all-time in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.

Division I
Rk. School Streak
1. UConn 149
2. Baylor 57
3. FGCU 42
4. Princeton 22
5. Three others 15
 
All-time, FGCU has a pair of 44-game ASUN 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.
 
Wingate On A Tear
Davion Wingate is having a career-best season, averaging 14.3 points while shooting .529 from the field and .422 from 3-point range. 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 scored in double-figures 20 times, including her 25 point outburst at Kennesaw State, and continues to rank third all-time in ASUN history in career long distance percentage at 90-for-211 (.427).
 
Ty The Great
Tytionia Adderly, the reigning ASUN defensive player of the year, continues to have a monster season as she approaches ASUN history. In the conference opener, the senior 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 1,127 and has elevated into a tie for third-place on the conference's all-time list. In fact, she only needs 15 more to move up to sole possession of second place. Phylette Blake, who had 1,242 rebounds for Georgia Southern from 1985-89, holds the top spot.
 
Adderly's ability to impact the game in several areas is what sets her apart from the competition and makes her one of the most unique players in conference history. In fact, in the road win over Kennesaw State, she matched her career-high with 10 assists to become the first player in the entire history of the ASUN to produce 800 points, 1,000 rebounds, 300 assists and 200 steals in a career. She also ranks 14th in the program's Division I era in points with 822.
 
Adderly's 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. Currently, Adderly has tallied double-digit rebounds in three of the past six games, which has pushed her season total to 12.
 
Furthermore, Adderly ranks fifth among all active Division I women's basketball players in career rebounds. She also has the seventh-most rebounds among active players across all three divisions of NCAA women's basketball.

4. Lauren Manis Holy Cross 1,141

National Leaders
In addition to Adderly's prowess on the glass nationally, where she also ranks 21st in career rebounding average at 8.7/game, Keri Jewett-Giles ranks 12th among all players nationally in career steals with 248, which includes her time at Southern Miss. She also checks in 45th in assists with 407 in her NCAA career. Meanwhile, Nasrin Ulel ranks 30th among all players with 647 career 3-point field goal attempts. Furthermore, among all active NCAA Division I players, the Eagles have three of the top 115 in career points - Jewett-Giles (74th, 1,410), Ulel (104th, 1,317) and Davion Wingate (114th, 1,293).

Back Among The Big Dogs
Despite being removed from the USA Today Coaches Poll for two weeks - despite not losing - FGCU returned to the rankings on Jan. 28, remained at No. 24 for two weeks, jumped up to 22nd the following two weeks and fell down to 23rd in the most recent poll - once again without losing. Their initial ranking on Dec. 31 represented the first time the Eagles had been ranked since April 2018 and the earliest in any season they'd been ranked, topping the 2014-15 team, who was ranked on Feb. 16, 2015. Additionally, they have now been ranked seven times this season, which surpasses the 2014-15 team for the most in program history.

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 30th through 14 games of conference play. Furthermore, FGCU's only two losses this year came to No. 21 Princeton (9th) and LSU (33rd). And they're 5-2 overall against current top 100 RPI teams. Aside from the two aforementioned teams, FGCU has defeated Duke (26th), UCF (38th), USF (72nd), South Dakota State (73rd) and Temple (94th). The Eagles have also defeated Liberty twice, and the Flames sit just outside the top 100 at 104.

Bracketology
FGCU is predicted as an eight seed for the ninth straight week in Charlie Creme's latest NCAA Bracketology, which has the Eagles facing No. 9 Rutgers in Columbia with a potential second-round matchup against No. 1 South Carolina.

Another ASUN Standard Set
Including this year, the Eagles have produced 12 or more wins in conference play EVERY season since joining the conference in 2007-08. In fact, over that span, all other members who have been in the ASUN since then have tallied a total of seven combined such seasons, and FGCU has 13 of the conference's 32 (40.6 percent) total seasons of 12 or more wins since 2007-08. Furthermore, the Green and Blue has six of the conference's eight 12-win seasons since the ASUN downsized from an 18-game schedule to a 14-16 game schedule from 2014-present.

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.
 
- With this year's performance, FGCU became the first ASUN program (past or present) to win 10 regular season conference championships. They were tied with FIU at nine, who only had seven outright titles among those, while all of FGCU's are outright. Additionally, the Eagles have dominated the league so much that only one other current member school has an ASUN regular season title (Stetson, 2017).

1,000 NCAA Points, Finished Career with Green and Blue
With Ashli O'Neal reaching 1,000 points in the Jan. 20 win over Kennesaw State, FGCU now has four players with at least that many in the scoring column. She became the 18th player in the program's history to eclipse the scoring milestone at the NCAA Division I level and finish her NCAA career at FGCU. The last Eagles squad to dress four with that many, 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 became the first player on this year's team to move into the top 10 of the most prolific NCAA scorers to ever wear the Green and Blue, and she has since been joined by Davion Wingate and Nasrin Ulel.

Deepest Backcourt in the Nation?
FGCU is the only women's basketball program in the nation with four 1,000 point guards, and the Eagles have joined Oregon as the only two with four such players at any position.

Oregon - Sabrina Ionescu, Ruthy Hebard, Minyon Moore, Satou Sabally
FGCU - Keri Jewett-Giles, Nasrin Ulel, Davion Wingate, Ashli O'Neal
 
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, and Davion Wingate, who played her first two seasons at Stony Brook, are both now among the top five most prolific scoring two-year transfers - among points scored at FGCU only - in the program's Division I era. Jewett-Giles surpassed Rosemarie Julien for the top spot in the team's road win over Kennesaw State and even has a chance at becoming the program's first player to reach 1,000 career points in just two years in the Green and Blue at the Division I level. Kate Schrader (1,062, 2005-07) achieved the feat at the Division II level.

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.

Who Needs The Transfer Portal?
Nasrin Ulel
could have decided to look elsewhere after averaging just over eight minutes per game and scoring 99 total points off the bench as a freshman, but she stayed in Fort Myers and has started all but three games since. As a sophomore, she averaged nearly 10 PPG. Last year, she tallied a team-high 14.6 points per contest while ascending to ASUN player of the year recognition. This season, she's averaging 13.6 per game among one of the deepest group of guards in program history, tied the program's single-game scoring record with 36 at Jacksonville and recently became the 10th player in the program's Division I era to reach 1,000 points in the Green and Blue. She is currently third in the program's Division I era in career points with 1,317 and is averaging 18 PPG over the past seven outings.

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.
 
From Walk On To Full Scholarship
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.

The Eagles have used five different starting lineups this year.

Going Streaking
Since taking over as FGCU's head coach, head coach Karl Smesko has guided the program to 16 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. In terms of regular season streaks, Smesko's longest is a 45-game stretch from Dec. 29, 2005 through March 3, 2007. The streak encompassed the final two seasons of the program's Division II era.

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 Stetson game on Feb. 10, the Eagles have produced the following numbers at home.
 
278-20 (.933) in games at Alico Arena
200-14 (.935) in Division-I era games at Alico Arena
105-2 (.981) in ASUN regular season games at Alico Arena

Near Record Pace In Alico

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 and Baylor are currently the only two schools in the nation at the NCAA Division I level to win 25 or more games in each of the past 10 seasons. UConn is also one shy of making it 10 in a row, while Notre Dame will fell off the list this year. Smesko and his teams have also achieved 15-straight 20-win seasons.
 
Smesko's Preparation
Coach 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 183-31 (.855) in games where he has four or more days to prepare, including the most recent such game at NJIT.
 
Coaching Staff Shuffle, Coaching Tree Grows
Many former student-athletes or members of Coach Smesko's staffs at FGCU have went on to become coaches elsewhere, highlighted by a flurry of activity this past offseason.

Chelsea Banbury, who spent the past 14 seasons at FGCU as either a player or coach, took the head coaching job at High Point University, where she added former FGCU players Jaime Gluesing (assistant coach/recruiting coordinator), Brittany Brown (assistant coach) and Jessica Cattani (director of operations) to comprise 75 percent of her staff.

With Jenna Cobb (2012-15 as player, 2015-19 on staff) also departing in the offseason, Smesko hired Shannon Murphy as an assistant coach, who spent the past six seasons on staff at Embry-Riddle University after a standout career at FGCU from 2007-11. He also elevated Mandi Pierce (2006-08 as a player) to an assistant coach position after three years as the program's director of operations. Sydnei McCaskill, who played for the Eagles from 2016-18, also enters her second year on staff as the video coordinator.

Including the aforementioned names, at least 16 former student-athletes have entered the coaching industry, including Destiny Washington, who is a graduate assistant coach at Lake Erie College in 2019-20. Two others - Chelsea Lyles (2008-10) and Pierce - are on the current FGCU staff, with Lyles being promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2019-20 season. Three of them - Kate Schrader (2005-07, Walsh University), Jen Conely (2005-07, Wisconsin Parkside) and Katie Meador (2012-16, Centralia, Ill. HS) are head coaches.

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, he has also guided the Eagles to 15-straight 20-win seasons.
 
Smesko maintains a record of 551-121 (.820) 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 200-16 (.926) mark in ASUN play. Over the past eight+ seasons, including this year, he has guided FGCU to a 136-4 (.97­1) 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.

ABOUT FGCU
FGCU teams have combined to win an incredible 81 conference regular season and tournament titles in just 12-plus seasons at the Division I level. Additionally, in just eight-plus seasons of D-I postseason eligibility, the Eagles have had a combined 36 teams or individuals compete in NCAA championships. Seven FGCU programs have earned a top-25 national ranking in their respective sport – including women's basketball (2019-20) and both men's soccer (2018, 2019) and women's soccer (2018) as three of the most recent. In 2016-17, the Green and Blue posted a department-best sixth-place finish in the DI-AAA Learfield Directors' Cup and top-100 showing nationally, ahead of several Power-5 and FBS institutions. In 2018-19, the Eagles had an ASUN and state of Florida best seven teams earn the NCAA's Public Recognition Award for their Academic Progress Rate in their sport. FGCU also collectively earned a record 3.35 GPA in the classroom in the spring 2018 semester and has outperformed the general University undergraduate population for twenty-one consecutive semesters. The 2019 Fall semester saw another milestone reached as all 15 programs achieved a 3.0-or-higher team GPA. The Eagles also served an all-time high 7,200 volunteer hours in 2017 – being recognized as one of two runners-up for the inaugural NACDA Community Service Award presented by the Fiesta Bowl.
