FORT MYERS, Fla. – Reservations for the general public are now open to attend the enshrinement of the 2013 Dunk City Team in the newly established FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame. The event will be held on Monday, November 15 with a reception, dinner, and program from 5:30-8:30 PM at the Cohen Student Union Ball Room.
 
Space is limited for this exclusive event which will be held the day before the FGCU men's basketball team hosts defending NCAA Elite Eight participant and expected top-25 foe Southern California at Alico Arena.
