Triumphant Eagles

The women’s basketball team was triumphant in a 80-76 overtime win over Hawai’i Pacific.

LA MIRADA--- The Biola women's basketball team ended their regular season on a high note, defeating Hawai'i Pacific 80-76 in overtime on senior night where they celebrated BU's lone fifth-year senior Aysia Johnson.

The Sharks (14-13, 12-8) scored the first basket of the first quarter, but Biola would pull ahead with the 15-13 lead by the end. The Eagles (14-13 overall, 12-7 PacWest) would fight for the lead as the game was tied up twice in the first frame before BU edged HPU 15-13 for the lead.

Biola built up as much as an 11-point lead in the second quarter that the Sharks trimmed to eight points headed into the break (37-29).

The halftime break proved favorable to the visitors who went on to outscore the Eagles 22-18 and cut down the deficit they were chasing to four points (55-51).

HPU rode their third-quarter momentum into the fourth where they tied up the game 67-67 with 1:39 remaining on the clock. Six fruitless possessions occurred until Biola and Hawai'i Pacific were sent into a five-minute overtime. 

Sydney Moran got the Eagles' on the board first with a three to bump them up, 70-67. 

Biola fouls would allow HPU to narrow the gap by one point (70-69) and then a good layup by Hawai'i Pacific would give them the 71-70 lead. 

HPU fouls would then allow Jordan Rabe to put Biola back ahead, 72-71. BU would extend their lead to three points with a basket by Aysia Johnson that was matched with a three-pointer by HPU to tie up the game 74-74. 

Biola would lead by two points and Hawai'i Pacific would tie up the game once again (76-76) before BU would put up a lead that would stick. Jessa Thurman made a layup and Jaci Bolden made two free throws to give Biola their 80-76 win.

Laila Walker led the scoring effort with 18 points, followed by Bolden with 14, Thurman with 13 and Moran with 12.

The Eagles head into the PacWest Championships on a four-game winning streak. Biola plays Point Loma first in the postseason tourney on Thursday, Mar. 2 at 4:45 p.m. PT at the McCabe Gymnasium.
