MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University will be upset-minded this weekend when it takes on a pair of NCAA Division-I opponents at the Florida International University Panther Beach Battle Tournament.
 
The Lions are scheduled to take part in what will be a two-day tri-duel with No. 14 (NCAA National Ranking) Florida International and University of North Florida, playing each team twice over the two days.
 
Taking on a pair of Division-I opponents comes at not the most auspicious time for the Lady Lions, as they've dropped their past two matches to Sun Conference foes – a tough 3-2 home loss against Webber International and a frustrating 4-1 defeat at the hands of Ave Maria University this past Wednesday.
 
Florida Memorial (2-2) head coach Marrita Crockett-Moulton has had to shuffle her team's pairs lineups since sophomore Agustina Busque has been out due to health and safety protocols. Busque is one-half of FMU's top pair – teaming up with Adriana Soto – that was named one of the Sun Conference's preseason Duos To Watch.
 
Even with all the shuffling, the Lions did have a bright spot from its match against the Gyrenes in Dana Noel. Newly added to the active roster, Noel paired with Rafaela Nogueira and picked up a 21-14, 21-15 victory in the No. 5 flight.
 
While picking up victories this weekend would be a huge plus for the Lions, they're more focused on tuning up for its remaining conference game (on March 24) and preparing for the Sun Conference Beach Volleyball Conference Championship Tournament (on March 27).
