Jacksonville Dolphins at Florida Gulf Coast Eagles
· ATLANTIC SUN WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL
58 - 68
To the NCAAs: FGCU tops Jacksonville for A-Sun title, 68-58
That left the Eagles plenty of time.
Rose Julien scored 17 of her 19 points in the second half, China Dow and Lisa Zderadicka came off the bench to combine for 35 more and top-seeded Florida Gulf Coast topped second-seeded Jacksonville 68-58 on Sunday for the Atlantic Sun Conference title as well as the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament.
It's the third 30-win season in the last four years for FGCU, which is headed to the NCAAs for the fifth time in the last seven seasons. The Eagles (30-4) finished 18-0 at home and have won 10 straight overall.
Jacksonville (24-8) led by five in the third quarter, then missed seven of its next eight shots and the game turned in a hurry. Zderadicka scored seven points in a 15-2 run, capped by Taylor Gradinjan's 3-pointer that put the Eagles up 47-39 late in the third.
Naqaiyyah Teague scored 13 and Shakayla Nevitt added 12 for the Dolphins, who went 0-3 against FGCU this season.
Turns out, the Eagles don't need to go wild from beyond the arc to win.
And when the Dolphins took 3s away, the Eagles went into attack mode.
FGCU finished 5 for 15 from 3-point range, but wound up with an 18-9 edge in second-chance points.
