The shorthanded Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers suffered another heartbreaking loss in the closing seconds of a game on Wednesday as after FSW missed a free throw to keep it a two point game with 14 seconds remaining, State College of Florida hit a three from the corner with under 2 seconds left on the clock to beat the Bucs by one 63-62.
If Monday's home opener at Buccaneers Park was any indication, the Bucs brand new on campus field is going to be a pitcher's park, as Belle Sardja and Kylee Graham combined for a no-hitter to christen the park in a 10-0 run rule win over Florida National University.
Two weeks ago, the Miami Dade Sharks held the Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers to their lowest scoring game in program history with just 49 points.

The Miami Dade Sharks had no answer for the multifaceted Florida SouthWestern attack that came at them Saturday afternoon in Suncoast Credit Union Arena as the Bucs shot 56% from the field and put up 90 points in a 90-62 win in their best offensive effort in Southern Conference play this season.
Reminiscent of opening day on Friday, the Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers split a pair of games at the Juco Early Bird Classic in Auburndale on Saturday, dropping a 7-1 early morning decision to #10 Chipola before responding for an 8-6 win over former Suncoast Conference rival Polk State in their second contest of the day.
