FRESNO, Calif. -- Fresh off of a Cornerstone Cup victory over Biola, Azusa Pacific traveled to Fresno to take on Fresno Pacific on Saturday, November 9. Although the Cougars got on the board early in the first half, Fresno Pacific would grab two goals in quick succession in the second half to secure the victory 2-1.

In the seventh minute, Kaylee Nicol combined with Emmy Koflanovich for the Cougars' lone goal of the match. The Cougars took the 1-0 lead into halftime, but they were out-shot 9-4 at the break. Fresno Pacific grabbed a goal back in the 63^rd minute when Alexis Macias cleaned up a loose ball in front of goal. The Sunbirds got their second goal in the 69^th minute by way of a penalty kick and would hold on for the next 20 minutes for the win.

Head coach Brooke Lincoln noted that a lack of consistency has plagued her team this season, "This has been the story of our season, we show up for big matches but do not take care of the ones we are supposed to… we need to figure out a way to be more consistent." The Cougars will finish out the rest of the regular season in the Bay Area, visiting Notre Dame de Namur on November 14 and Dominican on November 16.
