IRVINE, Calif.- A comeback for the Fresno Pacific Sunbirds fell short Saturday morning as they lost 4-3 to the #45 Concordia University Golden Eagles. 

The Golden Eagles and the Sunbirds split the first two doubles with the #11 Nayuma Subba and Yume Ueoku earning the win over Sophie Ranchor and Tiffany Carrillo 7-5. 

The deciding match feel on Court 3 where Daimy Paula and Halle Faherty eventually fell in a tie breaker 7-6 (7-5) giving CUI the doubles point. 

CUI earned the first point in the singles with a straight set victory on Court 3, but Elise Leik countered back with a win of her own on Court 4 6-4, 6-2.

The Sunbirds kept the wins rolling as Subba won on Court 1 7-5, 6-3.

Teammate Ueoku won her fifth straight match in a three setter 6-4, 6-2, 6-1.
