FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno Pacific (7-25) was in the game for three quarters against CSU East Bay, but could not hang on the final quarter.  However, in their first meeting the Sunbirds fell 4-19, and showed much improvement going into halftime tied 4-4 this time around.  Despite leading 5-4 during the third quarter, the Sunbirds fell 6-11 in the end.

“I was very proud of how the women played today.  Their continued growth shows in every game,” complimented Head Coach Bryan Suhovy.

Six different Sunbirds all had one goal apiece.  Marissa Nunes, Deborah Wall, Katie Rayner, Melissa Perry, Brittney Guerrero and Nicolette Haley all contributed to the Sunbirds' six goals.

Dani Mortimer played the whole game as the goalie and came up with 12 saves.

Coach Suhovy concluded, “The Sunbird women worked hard every second of the game fighting to stay in it.  East Bay's experience just wore us down a bit in the fourth quarter.”

Next weekend the Sunbirds will conclude their season while hosting the NAIA National Invitational.  The Sunbirds will take on California Baptist, Concordia, UC Santa Cruz and Azusa Pacific.  The Sunbirds' first game will be against Cal Baptist on Friday, April 16 at 2 p.m.
