MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University will have its sights set on possibly earning its first Sun Conference victories this weekend when it hosts rival Keiser University for a three-game weekend series at Miami Carol City Park beginning with a doubleheader Friday at 1 p.m.

Following Friday's two-game set, the teams are scheduled to play a single game Saturday at 5 p.m. – which will be the Lions' first-ever home night softball game.

About The Lions (1-20, 0-15 SUN)

FMU enters the weekend having dropped a pair of games against Florida National University earlier this week.
The Lions did show signs of progress, taking FNU the full distance of seven innings in both of its games and totaling 12 hits in the two games – the team's highest total of hits in a doubleheader this season.
Freshman infielder Emily Albelo joined Scarlett Montalvo and Trinity Hobley as players to have two multi-hit games this season after she had two hits in each of the games Tuesday.
Jadlyn Dixon also took the team lead for home runs this season (2) after hitting a solo shot against FNU. Dixon's other homer was the program's first-ever grand slam earlier this season.

Scouting Florida National (11-19-1, 2-10 SUN)

Keiser isn't riding into the series on the highest of horses, currently on a five-game losing streak after its sweep loss against Warner University this past weekend.
KU is led, in large part, by freshman Lizzy Small – who leads the team in almost all the major hitting categories while also serving as the team's ace pitcher.
Small has thrown 10 complete games this season while hitting .341 this season.
Seahawks head coach Terri Knecht is in her sixth season leading the program and is a tenured softball skipper – having served as a head coach (at Santa Fe College) as far back as 1995.
