MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University will be looking to pull off what would be the biggest upset of the season this weekend when it travels to face No. 1 Southeastern University Saturday afternoon.
 
About The Lions (15-7, 11-3 TSC)
  • FMU earned big home win this past Thursday, outlasting Ave Maria University 84-77.
  • Senior Keaynna Tolbert led all scorers with a season-high 28 points, 13 of which she scored in the fourth quarter.
  • Thursday's win not only avenged the Lions' Tuesday overtime loss to the Gyrenes, but it also kept them in the No. 2 spot in the Sun Conference standings.
  • If Florida Memorial was able to finish the season as the conference's two-seed, it would be the team's highest finish in the TSC standings in the past four seasons.
 
Scouting Southeastern (25-1, 14-0 TSC)
  • Southeastern enters the weekend as the nation's No. 1 ranked NAIA women's basketball team.
  • The Fire are on a 21-game winning streak and have already clinched the Sun Conference regular season championship – their seventh straight.
  • SEU did have to rally to defeat St. Thomas University this past Thursday, coming back from nine down to come away with a 66-61 win.
  • Fifth-year center Angela Perry leads Southeastern in scoring (19.2 PPG) and rebounding (6.6 RPG).
 
Series History
  • Florida Memorial trails in the all-time series 0-17.
  • The closest margin between the teams was a 99-89 Lions loss back in the 2018-19 season.
 
Keys To Victory
  • FMU will need to play as close to a perfect game as possible – shooting above 45 percent from the field and three-point range, winning the rebounding battle, and committing as few turnovers as possible.
