nonconference competition
nearing the top
The Green & Blue took on 12 teams from 10 different conferences during nonconference action this season. They went 6-6. Here’s the breakdown.
Sarah Hansen’s accolades and milestones keep adding up. The senior currently ranks 14th among all-time Atlantic Sun players with 1,639 points. She sits two points behind the 14th position and 173 points out of the top-10. Hansen also ranks 29th in all-time rebounds at 741 boards.
giving charity With a new emphasis on hand check rules, there is a common perception this season that there are more fouls called and in turn more free-throws awarded. However, since the transition to Division I in 2007, the Eagles have averaged 18.15 free throw attempts per game, and this season they have gone to the charity stripe an average of 20 times per game. The number of free throws made and attempted each year has fluctuated. Here we see that this year the number is not out of line with past seasons.
hot streak With 37 straight Atlantic Sun regular season wins, the Eagles hold the third-best conference win streak in the nation. They sit behind only Baylor and Weber State.
SIMPLY THE BEST In three-consecutive seasons the Eagles have set three separate 3-point records.
•350 made 3-pointers
•342 made 3-pointers
(A-Sun Season Record | 2010-11) (NCAA Season Record | 2012-13)
•22 made 3-pointers
(NCAA Game Record | Jan. 12, 2013)
The 350 made shots in 2010-11 did not count as a NCAA record due to the Eagles’ transition to DI.
