Story STOCKTON, CA – The LMU Lions ended their Northern California road trip by falling to the Pacific Tigers, 73-52.

In the second quarter, the Tigers extended their lead by 13 points. Most of Pacific’s points came from the free throw line shooting 4-6.

LMU started the second half at 6-6 with jumpers by Ariel Johnson and Alexis Mark bringing the Lions within six, 24-30. The defensive effort the Lions showed coming out of the quarter was impressive, as well as forcing the Tigers to turn the ball over several times.
