Fresno Pacific 
About the Sunbirds (4-9-1, 4-3-0 PacWest)
Fresno Pacific is coming off a 1-0 defeat of Biola last Saturday after making an 8th-minute goal from Tori De Leon hold up as the difference. Senior keeper Alex Benevidez needed just one save against the Eagles to tally her third clean sheet of the season, and she has been in the net for each of FPU's victories. The Blue and Orange continue to be the most attack-minded team in the league, taking a total of 258 shots, an average of 18.43 per game.
