Box Score PHOENIX --- Adijat Adams scored a career-high 34 points and added 16 rebounds to lead Biola to a 79-55 win over Arizona Christian University in a GSAC game on Tuesday night at Fultz Memorial Gymnasium in Phoenix.

The Eagles move to 14-15 on the year and to 4-9 in conference play while dropping the Firestorm to 4-21 and 0-13 in their first season of GSAC play.

Adams had a monster night and did it all in just 27 minutes of play as she dealt with foul trouble. She hit 15-of-22 from the field and added two assists, one block and one steal to go along with 16 rebounds and 34 points. The point total was the most by a Biola players since Megann Alberts scored 36 against California Baptist in 2007.

Becca Devere had a solid game as well with 10 points, seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and a block while Elizabeth Munger aded 10 points and five boards. Freshman Abby Chapman came off the bench to score a season-high nine points in 20 minutes of play.

Despite the lopsided final score, the game did not get going well as the Eagles found themselves down by two after a sloppy first half. Biola opened up an eight-point lead midway through the first half and went back up by eight on a three-pointer by Aubree Mittel with 7:47 left in the half. But Arizona Christian answered with a long 14-4 run to take back the lead at 32-30 just before the half and took 34-32 lead to the locker room.

But Biola quickly tied the score in the second half and went on a 14-3 run to go up 46-37 on an Adams' jumper with 13:32 to play and never looked back. The Eagles pulled away down the stretch, outscoring the Firestorm 21-5 over the final 7:18 of the game. Biola was able to hold Arizona Christian to just 21.9 percent shooting in the second half while hitting 54.1 percent.

Biola dominated on the boards, out-rebounding Arizona Christian 51-37 including a 31-17 edge in the second half.

The Eagles close out the regular-season on Saturday with a tough contest, hosting No. 6 Westmont College (23-3, 13-0 GSAC), looking to try and stand the Warriors' perfect GSAC season thus far. A win would move Biola into a tie for fifth place in the conference standings. Even with a loss, Biola would host an opening-round GSAC tournament game on Monday provided The Master's beats Hope International and/or Concordia falls to Arizona Christian.
