The Pacific Union College Men's Pioneer Basketball team faced the La Sierra University Eagles as they began their '96-'97 season on Saturday night, Nov. 23. Although LSU made a comeback late in the second half, the Pioneers, led by junior forward Rob Adams, hung on to win 80-73 at home. "I really wanted to win this one," said PUC freshman guard Mario Perez. Perez graduated from La Sierra Academy and had grown up with most of LSU's players. The offense for both teams started off sluggishly until PUC guard Brett Graves sunk a three-pointer with 16:40 left in the first half. Graves' three-pointer awoke the Pioneer offense into a 19-2 run. At the end of the first half, PUC led 36-17. But the Pioneers lost the spark they had shown in the first half, and allowed the Eagles to come back within 10 points with four minutes left in the second half. LSU then proceeded to outscore PUC 56-44, coming within four points with one minute left in the second half. Bryan Patterson sank four straight free throws to make the score 78-70. PUC hung on to win with a final score of 80-73. Chris Lindstadt led LSU with 24...

Pacific Union College's men's soccer team played their last away game at Dominican College on Friday afternoon, Oct. 11, and lost 0-2. Dominican scored early in the first half, but the Pioneers kept them from scoring for the rest of the match with strong defense and good passing. "It was the best game of the year," Head Coach Isaias Jacobo said. "They played their hearts out and they played consistently. I was very proud of them." Both teams met just two days earlier at PUC's home field on Wednesday, Oct. 9. The Pioneers lost 1-6 to Dominican, but stayed in the game for most of the match, trailing only 1-2 at halftime. Bad breaks and three Pioneer injuries slowed the team down, according to junior defender Rick Mann "The [1-6] score didn't reflect how well we played," Mann said. "We're learning how to play as a team and deal with pressure and competition," Jacobo said. The Pioneers have an overall record of 4-5, and one tie. They will play their last game of the season at PUC's upper field on Friday, Oct. 18, at 3 p.m....
