MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Florida Memorial University will be looking to pull off what would be the biggest upset of the season this weekend when it travels to face No. 1 Southeastern University Saturday afternoon.

About The Lions (15-7, 11-3 TSC)

FMU earned big home win this past Thursday, outlasting Ave Maria University 84-77.
Senior Keaynna Tolbert led all scorers with a season-high 28 points, 13 of which she scored in the fourth quarter.
Thursday's win not only avenged the Lions' Tuesday overtime loss to the Gyrenes, but it also kept them in the No. 2 spot in the Sun Conference standings.
If Florida Memorial was able to finish the season as the conference's two-seed, it would be the team's highest finish in the TSC standings in the past four seasons.

Scouting Southeastern (25-1, 14-0 TSC)

Southeastern enters the weekend as the nation's No. 1 ranked NAIA women's basketball team.
The Fire are on a 21-game winning streak and have already clinched the Sun Conference regular season championship – their seventh straight.
SEU did have to rally to defeat St. Thomas University this past Thursday, coming back from nine down to come away with a 66-61 win.
Fifth-year center Angela Perry leads Southeastern in scoring (19.2 PPG) and rebounding (6.6 RPG).

Series History

Florida Memorial trails in the all-time series 0-17.
The closest margin between the teams was a 99-89 Lions loss back in the 2018-19 season.

Keys To Victory

FMU will need to play as close to a perfect game as possible – shooting above 45 percent from the field and three-point range, winning the rebounding battle, and committing as few turnovers as possible.
