The Eagles defeated University of Michigan on Monday night to improve to 9-3 on the year. They are coming off having won 3-of-4 over the weekend against visiting Manhatten. FGCU is coached by Dave Tollet who is in his 11th season at the helm of the Eagles. Tollet is the only head coach in division-1 program history at FGCU. The Eagles compete in the Atlantic Sun.
Six Eagles have started all 11 games to date for head coach Dave Tollet, led by Brooks Beisner. Beisner is batting .521 (25-48) as of Monday, with five doubles and four home runs. He has knocked in 16 RBI and scored nine runs himself. As a team, FGCU bats .301 with a team ERA of just 2.13.
