Women's Hoops Comeback Bid Falls Short at LBSU

LONG BEACH, Calif. - The Pacific women's basketball team comeback bid fell short at Long Beach State Wednesday night as the 49ers held on for a 66-58 win.

Desire Finnie led Pacific with 13 points, while Jessica Blakeslee and Callie Owens each added nine. Chelsea Lidy and GeAnna Luaulu-Summers each chipped in seven.

LBSU entered the game shooting .298 from three-point range, but hit a season-high 43 percent (9-of-21) for an early lead as Pacific had to play from behind all evening. The Tigers mounted a late comeback, pulling within six after trailing by 16, but Long Beach State closed it out from the free throw line.
