(SAN DIEGO) PLNU Women's Basketball led from start to finish against Academy of Art on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Urban Knights 62-50 in Golden Gym to continue its perfect start to PacWest play.

With the win, Point Loma is officially off to its best start to a PacWest season in program history at 6-0 in conference play.
 
A pair of early baskets from Kaylee Byon got the Sea Lions off to a flying 6-0 start before a trio of 3-pointers from Grace Moyers to open the second quarter gave Point Loma its largest lead of the game at 25-10.
 
ART U got to within four in the third quarter, only for Tavia Rowell's corner triple in the closing seconds to put PLNU up by eight going into the fourth.
 
The Sea Lions quickly extended their lead back to double digits before putting the finishing touches on their ninth straight victory.
 
PLNU's defense once again held its opponents to 50 or fewer points for the fifth straight game, while limiting the Urban Knights to just 16.7% shooting from behind the arc.
 
Point Loma forced 22 ART U turnovers, converting that into a 19-10 advantage in points off turnovers, as the hosts got out in transition to outscore the visitors 10-2 in fast break points.
 
Four Sea Lions scored in double figures, led by Rowell's 15. Byon added 14 points, while Moyers (12 points) and Alli McDonald (11 points) also reached double figures.
