Gage Morey leads the Eagles with a .375 average. Jay Hayes is second on the team with a .368 clip. Kohl Gilmore has hit a team-leading seven home runs.

Last season FIU swept a two-game series from FGCU. The Panthers won 12-5 in Fort Myers and 7-0 in Miami.

FGCU leads the all-time series with FIU, 8-7.

Stetson (17-3) has won 17 of its first 20 games this season. The Hatters took three of four games from Rhode Island last weekend in DeLand.
