• Quick Stop Before A Pit StopJan. 9, 2007 | With this weekend's clash with the NAIA's top-ranked Vanguard looming, it might have been easy for the NAIA's No. 24-ranked Azusa Pacific to look past a Fresno Pacific squad that had lost 3 straight Golden State Athletic Conference contests. However, 7 different Cougars scored 8 or more points, including 5 who registered double figures, leading Azusa Pacific to an 89-67 win over the Sunbirds Tuesday evening at the Felix Event Center.
