The Lady Lions suffered their first conference loss of the season. 

The Florida Memorial University Lady Lions (12-5, 7-1 TSC) were defeated soundly by the Ave Maria University Gyrenes (15-3, 6-2 TSC) 66-78 on Thursday night at Ave Maria, FL. The Lady Lions, currently, leading the nation in total 3-pointers made and 3-pointers made per game suffered an off shooting night. The Lady Lions shot just 24% (7-29) from 3-point range and 33% from the field. 

The Gryenes had four players in double figures scoring. The poor shooting performance by the Lady Lions meant that there were more opportunities for rebounds but the Gyrenes owned the glass, out-rebounding the Lady Lions 23-35. 

Leading the way for the Lady Lions was Ashleign Gary with 20 points and 7 rebounds. 

The Lady Lions will look to get back on track as they will take on conference leading Southeastern University at the FMU Wellness Center on Saturday, Jan. 12th, at 2:00 p.m.

GO LIONS!!!
