STOCKTON, Calif. (Interstat) — In a defensive struggle defined by turnovers and missed shots, the California Baptist women’s basketball team used a dominant second-half performance to secure a 67-54 victory over Pacific on Saturday afternoon at the A.C. Spanos Center.

The Lancers, who improved to 2-0, were led by a game-high 27 points from Lauren Olsen and a commanding double-double from Emma Johansson, who tallied 14 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks. The Tigers, who fell to 1-1, were paced by Winner Bartholomew’s 24 points.

The game was a sloppy affair from the outset, with both teams combining for 46 turnovers. Pacific held an early lead, closing the first quarter up 18-13 behind 10 points from Bartholomew. The Tigers extended their advantage in the second quarter, leading by as many as 11 points before taking a 29-22 lead into halftime.

California Baptist’s offense was stagnant in the first half, shooting just 22 of 63 from the floor for the game. The tide turned decisively in the third quarter. The Lancers erupted for 22 points in the period, outscoring the Tigers by six to cut the deficit to a single point heading into the final frame.

The fourth quarter belonged entirely to the visitors. California Baptist continued its offensive surge, pouring in 23 points while holding Pacific to just nine. A key 15-2 run midway through the quarter, fueled by Olsen’s scoring and tenacious team defense, broke the game open and gave the Lancers a double-digit lead they would not relinquish.

While shooting percentages were low for both sides, California Baptist found an edge at the free-throw line, making 10 of 13 attempts compared to Pacific’s 7 of 11. The Lancers also capitalized on their defensive pressure, matching Pacific’s 21 points off turnovers despite committing 24 turnovers themselves.

Johansson’s presence in the paint was pivotal for California Baptist, anchoring a defense that held Pacific to an offensive rating of 64.1 points per 100 possessions. Filipa Barros contributed a well-rounded line of six points and 11 rebounds for the Lancers.

For Pacific, Daria Nestorov finished with 12 points and seven assists, while Stella Szabo added eight points and eight rebounds. The Tigers struggled to find any consistent offensive rhythm outside of Bartholomew, shooting just 20 of 69 from the field as a team.

The victory extends California Baptist’s early-season winning streak, while Pacific looks to regroup after suffering its first loss. The Lancers next travel to face Long Beach State on Wednesday. Pacific’s schedule does not get easier, as they head to Berkeley to take on California on Tuesday. The result was an upset according to Interstat’s ELO system, which had projected Pacific with an 80.10 percent probability to win. An announced crowd of 521 attended the non-conference matchup.
