WHAT'S HAPPENING:
Saturday's game against Azusa Pacific will offer a bit of the new and the old for the Point Loma men's basketball team. The game will mark the start of the Sea Lions' first year in the Pacific West Conference; however it will come with the familiarity of facing a longtime foe which moved over from the Golden State Athletic Conference along with the Sea Lions. The PLNU-APU game will follow the women's contest and is scheduled for a 4:00 p.m. tipoff. Tickets are still available for the game at $7 for general admission and $5 for non-PLNU students and seniors.
