Top-seeded Florida Gulf Coast hosts Jacksonville in Sunday’s ASUN semifinal, with the Eagles aiming to extend a strong season and reach the conference final. FGCU won both regular-season meetings, while Jacksonville advanced with a first-round upset.

By the Numbers
  • FGCU: 10-2-5 overall; 7-1-2 in ASUN play.
  • Jacksonville: 7-7-4 overall.
  • FGCU has scored 32 goals and recorded eight shutouts; Jacksonville has scored 28 goals and conceded 29.
  • FGCU is 19-3-5 all-time in the ASUN Tournament, with eight titles.
Yes, But

FGCU has the edge in form and defense, but Jacksonville brings a balanced attack: 14 players have scored this season, the most of any ASUN team. The Dolphins have also won back-to-back postseason games for the first time since 2012-13.

State of Play
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Pickering Field in Fort Myers; the game will stream on ESPN+.
  • FGCU enters as the No. 1 seed after winning its 13th ASUN regular-season title.
  • The Eagles have posted shutouts in three of their last four games.
What's Next

The winner advances to Friday’s championship game. If FGCU wins, it will host the North Florida-Lipscomb winner; a Jacksonville win would make the Dolphins the geographically designated home team, with the final played in Jacksonville.

Bottom Line

FGCU’s regular-season sweep and defensive strength make the Eagles the favorite, but Jacksonville’s scoring depth gives the semifinal upset potential.
