LAKE WALES, Fla. | Florida Memorial University fell in a tight 2-1 contest to Warner in Lake Wales. Both teams scored in the first half, but a scoreless second half meant the Lions couldn't mount a charge, handing them the loss.

The Royals got on the board first with a goal in the 32nd minute, but it didn't take FMU long to respond back. In the 34th minute, senior Jada Samuels scored her second goal of the season to tie the match 1-1, with just a few minutes left in the half. The Royals answered back shortly after with their second goal of the match, taking the lead 2-1, and holding on in the second half, with no goals scored on each side.

Freshman Alba Carcamo-Alvarado led the time in shots with six on the night, including one on goal, while teammates Alexia Medrano Martinez and Luna Berushi led in that category, with a pair apiece. Goalkeeper Isabella Rueda played all 90 minutes, allowing two goals and four saves.

The loss drops FMU to 3-3-3 on the year and 1-2 in conference play.

The Lions return to action Wednesday, October 15, when they'll travel to Babson Park to take on Webber International. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m.
