NCAA invitation
The Jacksonville Dolphins took on the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, who had not lost a game to a conference opponent on their home court in the prior 71 games, in the Atlantic Sun championship game. The Dolphins did not hold the lead in the second half until Brandi Buie hit a baseline jumper with just over three seconds left in the game. The Eagles were unable to score on the last possession, so Jacksonville won the tournament championship and an invitation to their first ever NCAA tournament. The Dolphins are now on an eight game winning streak.
