(FRESNO, Calif.) PLNU Men's Basketball had its four-game winning streak snapped on Saturday, as Fresno Pacific defeated Point Loma 68-59 in PacWest play.
 
Zack Paulsen led all scorers with 19 points, with the four other Point Loma starters scoring eight points apiece.
 
The Sunbirds held the Sea Lions to just 33.3% shooting overall for the game and to a 23.1% clip from behind the arc.
 
Point Loma shot 3-for-6 from 3-point range in the first half but FPU held PLNU to just 3-for-20 from downtown in the second half.
 
The Sunbirds led by four at the break and extended that to as many as 13 with 1:45 to play.
 
Six points from Paulsen in a 24-second span then managed to get the visitors to within seven with 31 seconds remaining, but FPU made a pair of free throws to take away any hope PLNU had of making a comeback.
 
Point Loma (11-5 overall, 6-2 PacWest) returns to the court on Wednesday at Biola (12-5, 7-2) with first place in the PacWest standings on the line once again.
 
The two teams played on Wednesday, with PLNU winning 61-50 to jump BU into first place in the standings.
 
However, with Biola's road win at Azusa Pacific on Saturday, coupled with PLNU's loss to FPU, the Eagles moved back atop the conference standings ahead of the rematch.
 
Tip-off on Wednesday in La Mirada is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
