FGCU took on Florida in their home opener on Friday. Although the score was close at halftime, the Eagles ended on the wrong side of a lopsided game, as the score ended 80-59.
The Eagles were led in scoring by Brandon Goodwin, who tallied 14 points, and Rayjon Tucker, who scored 10 points off of the bench.
Despite the loss, the Eagles hope for star player and captain Marc-Eddy Norelia, who missed the season opener with a broken hand, to return and help his team improve on last season.
