HONOLULU, Hawaii, – The Fresno Pacific women's basketball team closed out its three-game road trip on Tuesday with a 62-46 wire-to-wire win over Chaminade.

QUOTABLE

"We got hit with injuries and foul trouble early in this game. It flexed us with our rotations, but we got multiple contributions from our bench tonight. I'm proud of our team for finding a way to get the win. We'll enjoy the win on the red eye home, but we know we must get rested and healthy, as we have a quick turnaround with Hilo coming to us on Friday." – head coach Tim Beauregard
