The Eagles will now take on No. 2 Stetson in the quarterfinals at 11 a.m. Thursday. Kaitlyn Luebbers moved up to third in the FGCU record book earning her 70^th career win.
  
"There's always a different level of intensity at the conference tournament and our girls rose to the challenge today," said FGCU head beach volleyball coach Chris Sweat. "Jacksonville is a well coached and much improved team over the years, who played one of the toughest schedules around, and they made us work for every point.

"We know it's only going to get harder from here on out but these rivalries and competitive games are   what collegiate beach volleyball is all about."
