White's 24 not enough as Sunbirds fall in exhibition

Keairra White scored 24 for FPU but visiting Concordia would pull away late to knock off the Sunbirds 79-69 on Friday night. The game counted as an exhibition for FPU and a regular season game for the NAIA #14-ranked Eagles (9-2), who are set to join the Sunbirds in the PacWest next season.

FPU battled back from a six-point halftime deficit, beginning the second half on a 14-2 run to take a 48-42 lead with just under 13 minutes remaining. The game was tied 62-62 with 4:40 to play before the Eagles closed out the game by outscoring FPU 17-7 from that point.

Janis Peterson had a game-high 24 points for the Eagles and Jasmine Crawford added 14 points and 10 assists. CUI out-rebounded FPU 49-36 in the win.

Jenay Herring added 11 points and five assists for FPU. Charde Stevens and Dakota McLarnan had 10 points apiece. The Sunbirds shot 48 percent from the field but would suffer from a tough night at the line, connecting on just 15-of-27 free-throws (56%).

FPU resumes PacWest play next week as the Sunbirds travel to Hawaii for three games, beginning with a match-up against BYU Hawaii on Tuesday.
