FRESNO, CA -- Todd Brown scored 28 points and grabbed seven rebounds as Fresno Pacific improved to 6-0 with an 80-71 victory over Montana Tech on Friday (Nov. 27) in the Special Events Center.

Brown was 8-of-8 from the foul line in leading the Sunbirds, who are ranked No. 3 in the NAIA.

James Lewis added 15 points for Fresno Pacific and Alex Davenport scored 10. The Sunbirds shot 50.9 percent from the field and 21 of 24 from the foul line.

Sunbirds coach Jim Saia was not pleased with his team's performance, however. "We didn't play well," Saia said. "It was a lethargic effort, unacceptable."

Dean Colbray led Montana Tech with 18 points.

Fresno Pacific opens Golden State Athletic Conference play Tuesday (Dec. 1) at Biola. The Sunbirds are defending GSAC champions.
