HAYWARD, Calif. – The Fresno Pacific women's soccer team put together their largest scoring outburst of the season, scoring four goals on their way to a 4-1 victory over Holy Names on Saturday afternoon.
QUOTABLE

After a week of solid training, they displayed a style of play with solid possession, offensive advances, and a defense determined to stifle the Holy Names offense.
