(OAKLAND, Calif.) PLNU Men's Soccer outshot Holy Names 13-1 and forced nine saves in the first half, but weren't able to score until it was too late, as the Hawks ended the Sea Lions' six-match unbeaten run by a 2-1 margin.
 
Despite an onslaught of pressure from Point Loma, the opening 45 minutes ended 0-0, as HNU's goalkeeper kept the home side in the match with an array of saves.
 
The Sea Lions were made to pay early in the second half, with the Hawks scoring twice within 10 minutes of each other, in the 54th and 63rd.
 
Milo Libby put a couple efforts on target off set pieces before PLNU was finally able to find the back of the net through Samuel Tuscano just over two minutes from time.
 
It proved to be too little, too late for the visitors, who could not get a shot off in the final couple minutes.
 
Holy Names ended not only PLNU's six-match unbeaten streak this season, but also the Sea Lions' six-match unbeaten run in the series between the two teams, dating back to 2015.
 
Point Loma (4-4-2 overall, 1-1 PacWest) will look to rebound next week against two of the preseason top-three teams in the PacWest – Wednesday on the road at Biola (4-3-3, 3-0) and Saturday at home against three-time defending conference champion Azusa Pacific (3-6-2, 1-1-1).
