(SAN DIEGO) PLNU Men's Basketball led from start to finish in a 61-50 win over Biola that vaulted Point Loma up to first place in the PacWest standings.
 
The Sea Lions came out firing, with their first four made field goals all coming from behind the arc, before Jake Lifgren's 3-point play capped off a 15-2 run to start the game.
 
After a pair of offensive rebounds, Lifgren then connected on a triple to give the hosts an eight-point halftime advantage.

A tough fadeaway jumper from Lifgren early in the second period got the sophomore guard up to 19 points, as he had more than half of PLNU's points at the time with the team back up by double digits, 32-22.
 
Pierce Davis threw down a pair of dunks in the second half, including a 3-point play, as he provided a spark of the bench with his nine points and two blocks.
