Sunbirds continue offensive outburst, blast Holy Names 3-0

Box Score

Goals from Amanda Hudec, Kelly Nikkel and Ashley Tallon propelled Fresno Pacific to a 3-0 win over last-place Holy Names. The Sunbirds (8-7-1, 6-4-1 PacWest) posted their eighth shutout of the season and scored more than one goal in back-to-back games for the first time this year.

"We're really pleased with today's result," said head coach Erik Farfan. "To be able to travel and get a solid win like this was positive for our team to continue on the right track. It was another great defensive effort from our back three of Caressa Archie, Alyssa Nakaguchi and Clara Buettner, and from Sarah King, and another improved performance offensively."

Hudec got the scoring going in the 12th minute, kicking in a cross from Amber Rodriguez for her first goal of the year. Rodriguez leads the team with three assists.

Nikkel then found the net for the second consecutive match, finishing a pass from Jessica Castillo in the 26th minute and continuing to provide the Sunbirds with a much-needed spark on the offensive end.

Tallon added an insurance goal in the 81st minute on a great feed from Sarah Reed, who recorded an assist for the second straight match.

HNU dropped to 4-12-1, 0-10-1 in the PacWest with the loss.

The Sunbirds conclude their season this Saturday at Academy of Art in San Francisco.
