FRESNO, Calif. --- Playing in its third match in four days including its second-straight against an NAIA Top three team, Biola put up a valiant effort, but ultimately lost 9-0 at No. 2 Fresno Pacific in a GSAC match on Monday morning.

The Eagles fall to 1-2 on the season and to 0-2 in conference play with the Sunbirds improve to 2-0 and to 1-0 in conference.

Biola played tough against its highly-ranked opponent, forcing Fresno Pacific to hit winners to take points. However, the final box score was a bit lopsided toward the home side.
