Fourth-Quarter Surge Turns the Tide Against Biola

The Biola women’s basketball team saw a strong road effort slip away late, falling 58–53 to Hawaii Pacific.

HONOLULU, Hawaii---The Biola women's basketball team saw a strong road effort slip away late, falling 58–53 to Hawaii Pacific on Tuesday evening in the Shark Tank.

Biola got off to a strong start, building a 24-17 lead in the first half behind efficient offense and disciplined defense. The Eagles held Hawaii Pacific to single-digit scoring and a shooting percentage of .161 in the first half while Biola scored 12 points in both quarters and .458 percent from the field. 

The Eagles leaned on balanced offense in the opening half. Grace Moyers, Hanne Nybo, and Laney Grider were tied as BU's leading scorers with six points each. Camden Miller, Jaycee Goldsmith, and Aliyah Bantolina each added two to support the effort.

Biola kept the momentum coming out of the break, putting together their best scoring quarter of the game in the third. Biola poured in 20 points in the frame, highlighted by timely three-pointers and strong interior finishes, and carried a 44–34 lead into the final 10 minutes.

Hawaii Pacific, however, mounted a decisive fourth-quarter comeback. The Sharks outscored Biola 24–9 in the final period, using trips to the free-throw line and second-chance opportunities to flip the game. Biola struggled to find consistent offense in the fourth, shooting just 2-for-9 from the field, while HPU shot 6-for-14. Biola was also 3-for-6 at the free throw line while HPU was 9-for-12.

Moyers led Biola overall with 12 points, knocking down four three-pointers, while Nybo followed closely with 11 points on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting performance. Grider added 10 points along with five rebounds and five assists, and Miller chipped in seven points off the bench.

Biola dropped to 6–8 overall and 3–6 in the PacWest Conference, while Hawaii Pacific improved to 5–11 and 4–6 in conference play.

Next up for Biola on their Hawaii road trip is Chaminade on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 5:30 p.m. HT (7:30 p.m. PT).
