PLNU DOWNED BY BIOLA

LA MIRADA, Calif.-Despite holding the advantage on the glass, the Point Loma Sea Lions (13-13 overall, 8-11 PacWest) were upended 74-56 by the Biola Eagles (16-7 overall, 12-4 PacWest) Monday night inside Chase Gymnasium.

Point Loma dominated the glass from the opening quarter, overcoming a handful of turnovers, and stayed within four points of the final minute in the period. Haylee Saurette banked in a three before the buzzer to pull it even closer leaving Point Loma down just one heading into the second period.

The Sea Lions took that momentum into the 2nd quarter, and grabbed the lead at 16-15. Turnovers again swung the momentum, as Point Loma committed 5 more turnovers. That allowed Biola to jump back in front with five 3's in the period and the Eagles closed the half on a 9-2 run to open up a 37-23 lead.

Point Loma was still dominant on the glass, outrebounding the Eagles 22-11 in the first half, but 10 turnovers undermined much of that work.

The third quarter was a bit more frantic and Biola's lead ballooned to 19 at the start of the 3rd period. Point Loma answered with an 8-0 run, forcing a slew of Biola turnovers, to pull within 11. However, Biola reset the difference to 19 by the end of the quarter as PLNU committed 7 turnovers in the period.

Point Loma outscored Biola in the final period, but the Eagles had ahold of the lead and the game.

Biola shot over 50% from the field and benefitted from 21 total PLNU turnovers.

The Sea Lions had three different players in double-figures with Ellie Turk leading the way with 13 points. Saurette added 12 and Grace Moawad tallied a career-high 10 points with a perfect 4-4 night from the field.

Point Loma will conclude the regular season Saturday afternoon, hosting Holy Names at 1:00pm for Senior Day inside Golden Gymnasium.
