VU women lose, 70-56

Azusa Pacific University was a 70-56 Golden State Athletic

Association winner over visiting Vanguard University Saturday night in

women’s basketball as the hosts stormed to a 44-26 halftime lead and were

never threatened in the second half.

The Cougars, No. 23 in the NAIA, were led by Jacqueline Godoy’s

game-high 22 points.

The Lions were led by Kelly Boeke, who scored 12 points and pulled

down nine rebounds. Deborah Candelaria scored 10 points.

Azusa Pacific improves to 12-4, 6-2 in the GSAC. Vanguard falls to

9-6, 6-3.

Fresno Pacific also won Saturday, against Point Loma, 75-68, and

shares the GSAC lead with Azusa Pacific at 6-2.

Vanguard outrebounded the Cougars, 36-32, but 23 turnovers hurt the

cause.
