LAKE WALES, Fla. | Florida Memorial erased a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to force overtime, eventually winning 82-76 against Warner at the Turner Athletic Center. The win is the seventh straight victory for the first place FMU Lions, who improve to 9-1 in conference play and remain atop of the Sun Conference Women's Basketball standings.
