scouting the Bucs AGAINST FGCU FGCU has won the last three games in the series and lead the all-time series, 5-2. The last win for the Lady Bucs in the short-lived rivalry was an 88-83 win back on Jan. 16, 2010 in Johnson City. LADY BUCS’ LAST TIME OUT The Lady Bucs are coming off an emotional loss to the Hatters where ETSU trailed by as many as 15 points and came back to tie the game twice late in the game. However, the Blue and Gold couldn’t get over the hump as Stetson closed out the final two minutes on a 9-3 run to take the A-Sun opener, 68-60. Senior guard Tarita Gordon broke out of a shooting slump by scoring a teamhigh 20 points and dishing out four assists on Thursday afternoon, while fellow senior Natalie Pickwell added 11 points and a career-tying nine rebounds. Meanwhile, a few underclassmen stepped up as sophomore Destiny Mitchell and freshman Cara Bowling provided a spark. Mitchell finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, and three assists, and Bowling – who didn’t register any points – stepped up on the defensive end as she forced a season-high five steals in 12 minutes of work … the loss snapped 12-game winning streak vs. the Hatters for the Lady Bucs, marking Stetson’s first win over the Blue and Gold since Dec. 1, 1995 (second all-time win vs. ETSU).

the art of the three...written by fgcu women’s basketball NATION’S BEST FGCU’s three-point prowess has been the program’s calling card from day one and the 201112 version of the Eagles is no different. The Eagles lead the nation with an average of 13.0 threes per game, almost two trifectas in front of second place DePaul (11.2). As a team, FGCU has drained double-digit threes in 4 games this season. RANK 1. 2. 3. 4.
TEAM FGCU DePaul Arizona Fresno State
3-PT FG/GAME 13.0 11.2 10.0 9.7
THREE IS THE KEY · The Eagles are 5-0 this season when shooting 23 or more three-pointers. · The Green and Blue are 4-1 on the year when they drain eight or more shots from beyond the arc. · FGCU is 4-1 this season when they knock down more three-point shots than their opponent.
LEADER OF THE PACK With 13 of her 15 made field goals coming from beyond the arc this season, Kelsey Jacobson ranks t-3rd in the A-Sun and t-56th in the nation at 2.6 treys per game. Jacobson knocked down 96-of-249 three-pointers in 2010-11 to also rank fourth in the league at a 38.6 clip. The Barnesville, Minn. native has made multi-threes in 4 of 5 games this season. RAPID FIRE Surrounding its opponents with a balanced scoring attack, FGCU has knocked down 65 threes this season compared to just 21 from its opponents. Led by Kelsey Jacobson’s 2.6 trifectas per contest, eight different players made seven or more shots from long range. The Eagles have five players ranked in the A-Sun’s top-15 in 3-point field goals made per game.
MAKING A LIVING FROM LONG RANGE It’s no secret that Kelsey Jacobson is FGCU’s top three-point threat. Through 97 career games, Jacobson has knocked down 262 three-pointers and on Feb. 7, 2011 vs. ETSU, she became FGCU’s all-time leader in three-pointers in just three seasons. Jacobson, who currently holds the Atlantic Sun record for three-pointers in a season (96), has made a three in 53 straight games, 70 of her last 71 contests and 92 of 97 for her career. During her career, Jacobson has made 3+ threes 45 times, 5+ threes on 14 occasions and a careerbest of six three times.
3’S PLEASE! In the program’s nine-year history (283) games, FGCU has made at least one three-pointer in 282 contests, including 170 straight. The last and lone time the Eagles didn’t knock down a three was February 21, 2006 at Lynn. During the current 170-game run, the Green and Blue have knocked down 1,646 money balls while their opponents have knocked down 829 threes. In games that it has drained double-digit threes, FGCU is 102-8 all-time and 57-6 since moving to Division I in 2007-08. HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE COMPETITION Kelsey Jacobson has 262 career three-pointers made. She is the nation’s leader (among active players) in career three-pointers, with her closest competition being Jessica Jenkins (243) from St. Bonaventure and Anne Boese (243) from IPFW.

BREAKING RECORDS The FGCU women’s basketball team knocked down an all-time NCAA record and 2011-12 NCAA single-game high 21 three-pointers on 51 long range attempts in their 106-27 over NAIA foe Webber International on Nov. 28, 2011 at Alico Arena. The Eagles’ 21 three-point ranks them tied for first place tie all-time with New Mexico State. The Aggies drained 21 triples against Louisiana-Lafayette on Feb. 23, 2002. The 21 threes are also an A-Sun record, as FGCU made six treys in the first half and 15 in the second. AMONG THE BEST With at least 23 games remaining in her collegiate career, Kelsey Jacobson is on pace to finish with 331 career three-pointers made, which would rank her top 15 in NCAA Division I history.

GETTIN’ LOVE FROM ESPN In the second edition of the mid-major top 10 written by ESPN’s Graham Hayes, the Eagles picked up the No. 6 spot. The mid-major top 10 returns with the same ground rules. All conferences beyond the BCS six (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC) qualify for consideration.
The Mid-Major Poll is made up of teams from the following conferences: America East, Atlantic Sun, Big Sky, Big South, Big West, Colonial, Great West, Horizon, Independents, Ivy, Metro Atlantic, Mid-American, Mid-Eastern, Missouri Valley, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot, Southern, Southland, Southwestern, Summit, Sun Belt, West Coast Conference.
Here’s what Hayes said about FGCU: 6. Florida Gulf Coast (3-1) The season began with a missed opportunity in a 57-51 loss at Seton Hall, but if not exactly a threat in the Big East, Anne Donovan’s team is perhaps no longer a mere speed bump. And the Eagles made up for that Seton Hall result with a 59-58 win against Michigan State the week before Thanksgiving behind 20 points and 13 rebounds from Sarah Hansen. Like more than a few markswomen, Kelsey Jacobsen is off to a slow start from the 3-point line, whether or not it’s related to the new distance. But wellregarded freshman Whitney Knight is filling the void (5-of-11).
The Green and Blue are the lone Atlantic Sun Conference team represented in this week’s Top 25. FGCU VS. BCS OPPONENTS FGCU is 6-10 all-time against BCS foes. Five of the Eagles’ six wins over BCS opponents have come at Alico Arena.

Smesko’s career coaching record, which includes one year at Walsh, two seasons at IPFW and his nine seasons at FGCU, stands at 297-74 and he owns an amazing 11-2 record (.846) in national tournament games. His record at FGCU is an astounding 236-47 and his four-season record in Atlantic Sun Conference matchups is 64-12 (.842). The offensive guru, who was ranked fourth on a list honoring the top Mid-Major head coaches in NCAA Division I by the National Women’s Basketball Insider website in August on 2010, led the Blue and Green to a 28-4 overall record (17-3 A-Sun), en route to being named A-Sun Coach of the Year and securing the program’s eighth 21-plus win season in the nine-year program history, along with a second Atlantic Sun Conference regular season crown and a fourth consecutive automatic bid to the WNIT. During the 2010-11 campaign, the Eagles led the nation in three point field goals made per game, as Shannon Murphy picked up first team all-conference honors and Sarah Hansen earned second team all-conference and was named to the A-Sun All-Freshmen squad. FGCU also extended their home winning streak to 42 games in 2010-11, which at the time was the third longest in the nation behind UConn and Stanford, before dropping a highly competitive game to SEC foe Florida, 74-69, in front of a Alico Arena record crowd of 4,543 in the second round of the WNIT. Smesko saw Chelsea Lyles earn first team all-conference honors, while Adrianne McNally and Shannon Murphy were named to the second team, as the Eagles posted 24 wins in 2009-10, to secure the program’s seventh 21-plus win season in the eight-year program history, along with a second place finish in the Atlantic Sun Conference. FGCU received the program’s first invitation to play in the preseason WNIT, where they advanced to the second round with a win over UTEP before falling to New Mexico and Georgia Tech, and also secured their third consecutive postseason WNIT automatic bid. By participating in the 2010 postseason WNIT, FGCU became the first A-Sun school to make three consecutive WNIT appearances. During the 2009-10 season, the Blue and Green also extended its home winning streak to 24 games, which ranks as the fourth longest home winning streak in Division I women’s basketball heading into the 2010-11 campaign. In 2008-09, Smesko, who was voted A-Sun Coach of the Year, led the Eagles to a Regular Season Atlantic Sun Championship with a 17-3 record. FGCU led the A-Sun in scoring, scoring margin, field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage, assists, assist-to-turnover ratio, and three-point field goals made during the 2008-09 season. The Eagles also cemented a place in the All-Time A-Sun record books by winning 17 conference games. The Eagles lost to eventual champion USF in the second round of the WNIT and finished the 2008-09 season with an overall record of 26-5, with first team all-conference selections Adrianne McNally and Chelsea Lyles and A-Sun Freshman of the Year Kelsey Jacobson leading the way. In the Eagles first Division I season, Smesko led the women’s basketball team to a second place finish in the A-Sun with a 13-3 record. They were the fifth best offensive team in the A-Sun as well as the second best defense. They were second in free throw percentage and third in field goal percentage. The Eagles, who saw Delia De La Torre and Chelsea Dermyer earn second team All-Atlantic Sun honors, lost to UF in the second round of the WNIT and finished the 2007-08 season with an overall record of 22-8. He guided the Eagles to the Division II NCAA tournament twice. The 2006-07 team finished the regular season undefeated and ranked number one in the nation. The team won the South Region championship and advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championship game. The Eagles were National Runner up and finished with a 34-1 record. Smesko was named South Region Coach of the Year. Coach Smesko is one of an elite group of coaches who has taken a team at two different universities to the national championship game (Smesko guided Walsh University to an NAIA National Championship in 1998). The 2006-07 squad ranked in the top 20 nationally in a remarkable 12 categories: #1 in win-loss percentage, #1 in scoring margin, #2 three-point field goals per game, #2 scoring defense, #3 three-point field goal percentage, #5 scoring offense, #6 assists per game, #8 field-goal percentage, #8 field-goal percentage defense, #11 steals per game, #18 turnovers per game, and #20 in rebound margin. In his first season at FGCU, Smesko guided the 2002-03 Eagles squad to a 30-1 record. The Eagles followed with an 18-8 mark in 2003-04 and a 21-9 mark in 2004-05. Smesko led the Eagles to the NCAA tournament and a 29-2 record in 2005-06. FGCU advanced to the regional semifinals with a win against Rollins. Prior to taking the helm at FGCU, Smesko spent two seasons turning around the program at Indiana-Purdue/Fort Wayne from 1999 to 2001. Inheriting a team that had posted a 2-24 the previous season and an 8-44 record the previous two seasons prior to his arrival, Smesko sparked an 11-win improvement and a 13-14 record in 1999-2000. In his second season Smesko’s team posted the third-most wins in school history with a 19-8 mark. Smesko started his college coaching career at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio in 1997-98. He led the Cavaliers to the 1998 NAIA Division II National Championship with a 29-5 mark, a 12-win improvement over the previous year. Smesko, whose team had been predicted to finish sixth in the nine-team Mid-Ohio Conference, was named the Mid-Ohio Conference and NAIA National Coach of the Year. It was the first national championship in school history. He spent the 1998-99 season as an assistant coach for the University of Maryland in the prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference. Smesko, a native of Bath, Ohio who now resides in Fort Myers, was a 1993 Summa Cum Laude graduate of Kent State and earned his master’s degree from Walsh University in 1998.
