Box Score

Fresno Pacific came back from a 23-point deficit, but it was too little too late as the Sunbirds fell 85-79 to visiting Holy Names on Wednesday night. The Sunbirds cut the HNU lead to four in the closing minutes, but the Hawks emerged victorious to earn their first conference victory.

Josh Mason, Johnell Thompson and Trevon Clayton scored 16 points apiece for the Sunbirds (5-8, 0-5 PacWest), who were without two starters due to injury. Jonathan Jefferson added 15 points off the bench.

Harold Perry Jr. poured in 28 points for the Hawks (2-12, 1-5 PacWest). Carl Dorn added 22 points off the bench in the win.

"You've got to credit Holy Names, they really came to play and went all out for a full 40 minutes," said head coach Chris Wright. "They jumped on us early and we did a good job of chipping away at the lead but just didn't have enough left in the tank. We've got to regroup, continue to get healthy and get ready for Saturday."

FPU hosts undefeated #25 California Baptist on Saturday at 4:30 pm.
