(FRESNO, Calif.) No. 12 PLNU Men's Basketball capped off an unbeaten opening weekend to its PacWest schedule with an 85-63 victory at Fresno Pacific on Saturday.
 
After requiring a furious late comeback in an overtime win over Jessup on Thursday, no such late game heroics were needed on Saturday as the Sea Lions cruised to a road win over the Sunbirds.
 
Back-to-back Jake Lifgren jumpers gave Point Loma a double-digit lead going into halftime before PLNU opened the second half on an 11-0 run.
 
Andrew Hommes hit two of his four 3-pointers during that stretch, while Tyce Paulsen also connected from long range.
 
Lifgren extended the Sea Lions' lead to as many as 25 with 12:27 left to play, as PLNU's lead didn't shrink below 20 the rest of the way.
 
Hommes led the team with 17 points, followed by Paulsen's 11 and James Nobles' 10.
 
Twelve Sea Lions scored in total, as PLNU posted its largest margin of victory this season against an NCAA Division II opponent.
 
Point Loma (7-1 overall, 2-0 PacWest) will travel to play at Biola on Wednesday. Tip-off in La Mirada is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
