The Sunbirds lost two games on Sunday during the last day of the Concordia Invite, falling 10-5 to Air Force and 11-9 to Occidental.

Evan Baird had six total goals on the day, followed by Glenn Lyon and Ray Eggert, each with two. Riley Warner had 22 saves.

FPU played solid defense against Air Force, shutting down their counterattack. The Sunbirds struggled offensively, though. After finishing the first quarter down 3-2, Fresno Pacific let Air Force gain control of the game. They went up 7-3 at half, and later completed the victory 10-5.

The Sunbirds went into halftime ahead 5-4 against Occidental, but let the Tigers back into the game, eventually losing 11-9. Impatience and missed opportunities from Fresno Pacific allowed Occidental to capitalize on several counterattacks as they secured the win.

"We've shown great growth over the course of the season," said coach Bryan Suhovy when asked about the tournament as a whole. "We continue to improve each weekend."

FPU (7-16) takes on Cal Baptist in Fresno this Thursday at 7:30 pm.
