FOURTH QUARTER FIGHT

It was a battle in the first half. In the second quarter the women were down by 10 but by halftime the deficit was only five. Biola had quick turnovers and continued putting up a battle. The hustle carried into the third, and they were able to get to a one-point deficit. In the end it was not enough as Biola lost to the Golden Eagles 62-68.
