MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University will be looking to end its season on a high note when it hosts St. Thomas University Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Bunche Park Field in what will be its regular season finale.

About The Lions (1-9, 0-9 SUN)

The Lions enter the midweek tilt still shaking their collective heads following their one-point loss to nationally ranked Thomas University this past week.
FMU stymied the Night Hawks offense, nabbing three interceptions – one from each Ericka Johnson, Vanessa Queen, and Thaymiluz Santos.
Florida Memorial ranks in the top half of the Sun Conference in interceptions this season.
FMU's offense continues to be largely inconsistent. It will hit on big plays down field – like it did on its lone scoring play against TU, a 64-yard touchdown pass from Ja'Shya Christie to Linsley Francois – but those only come after long stretches of minimal to modest gains.
Lions head coach Jonathan Alvarez will honor his team's graduation seniors in a ceremony at halftime of Wednesday's game.

Scouting St. Thomas (6-4, 5-3 SUN)

St. Thomas rolls in as winners of its past two games – both conference victories.
The Bobcats defeated Florida Memorial 46-6 in their first meeting earlier this season at STU.

Series History

FMU trails the all-time series against St. Thomas 0-3.
Technically, Wednesday's game will be the fourth meeting between the programs, however, it will be the third on-field matchup because the March 27, 2021 game was not played – it was a forfeit loss for the Lions.

Keys To Victory

The Lions must continue to play with pride and buy-in. The team nearly toppled a nationally ranked foe this past week because of its attention to detail.
