Box Score 2 SARASOTA, Fla. | Florida Memorial University split its opening doubleheader with New College of Florida 6-10 and 5-1 at IMG Academy.
FMU held the lead for the first half of game one, a series of runs from NCF put them over the edge, and despite a two-run top of the ninth by the Lions, it wasn't enough to overtake New College. The second game was another story, as FMU was the one who overtook NCF late and came home with the conference victory.
