1) Marc-Eddy Norelia scored a career-high 21 points to lead the FGCU offensive attack at Ohio. 2) Saturday marked the first time since 2013-14 that FGCU scored at least 70 points in a game and lost (25-3 under Dooley). 3) The 75 points FGCU scored at Ohio are tied for the second-most in a loss in the program’s Division-I non-conference history. 4) Also, the 75 points were the most in a season-opening loss since the program’s first game in 2002-03 (98-90 vs. Puerto Rico-Bayamon). 5) Each of the last four years that FGCU dropped its season opener (2010-13), the Eagles have responded with a double-figure win in their next game.
