NICEVILLE, Fla. – Following a commanding 90-65 victory over Southern Union on Tuesday, the Raiders are gearing up for back-to-back games this weekend against Region VIII opponents in the Florida Shootout, hosted by Tallahassee State College.

With momentum from their current two-game winning streak, the Raiders aim to extend it to four with strong performances in Tallahassee. However, this will not be an easy task as the team is slated to take on two Region VIII opponents with respectable records coming into the weekend.

Saturday, the Raiders will face Miami Dade (6-3), who recently secured a close four-point victory over Palm Beach State. Sunday's matchup pits the Raiders against Hillsborough College (6-2), a team riding a two-game winning streak with victories over Florida Sports Coast Elite and Pasco-Hernando State.
