Point Loma Nazarene University

We expect athletes to play through some aches and pains. But, what Point Loma Nazarene University senior forward Kaden Anderson did on Monday night? That defies description. Anderson suffered what’s likely a high ankle sprain in the opening minutes of the NCAA Division II West Regional Final against Cal State San Bernardino. That injury, the same one Chiefs quarterback...

The old cliche during March Madness is “survive and advance.” Point Loma Nazarene University did just that in the first round of the Division II NCAA Basketball Tournament. Hosting the West Regional as the #1 seed, the Sea Lions got a tough test from Northwest Nazarene University before pulling away for a 78-64 win at Golden Gymnasium for their 24th…

Hanging on the southern wall of Point Loma Nazarene University’s Golden Gymnasium is a banner. It’s a reminder of the Sea Lions going to the 2019 Division-II Men’s Basketball National Championship Game. Senior forward Kaden Anderson knows exactly where it is, and although he tries not to look, sometimes he can’t help taking a glance. And he does not...

Championships make teams memorable. Undefeated seasons make teams legendary. The 2022-23 Point Loma Nazarene men’s basketball team is now the latter. On Thursday night the Sea Lions whipped Hawaii Hilo 87-66, becoming the first team ever to finish a PacWest Conference season 20-0. It doesn’t matter what the sport is or what the level is, beating everyone put in...

Just about every college basketball coach will tell you the goal at the start of the season is to win the conference championship. It’s an extremely difficult thing to do. Going undefeated in conference play? Nobody even thinks about that. A perfect run through conference play, where you’re seeing everyone twice and making multiple road trips is extremely rare....

It was the Sea Lions’ first setback of the tournament after winning their first two games by a combined score of 19-4.

Point Loma Nazarene University won 48 games, good enough to make the program’s first trip to the Division-II College World Series and earn the #2 seed. But, until a team experiences a CWS environment you’re not sure how they’re going to react. It was like they do this all the time. The Sea Lions opened the tournament with an...

Point Loma Nazarene University is not ready to let this dream season end. The Sea Lions beat Azusa Pacific 5-2 on Saturday afternoon in Game 3 of the NCAA Tournament Super Regional, earning the program’s first trip to the Division II College World Series. PLNU, needing just one win after an 8-7 victory on Friday, lost the early game on…

Point Loma Nazarene University’s baseball team has been to plenty of NAIA World Series. But, the Sea Lions have never made it to the NCAA College World Series. They’re one win from changing that. PLNU played its first Super-Regional game in program history and beat Azusa Pacific 8-7 in a wild Game 1 at America’s Most Scenic Ballpark. Starting...

A year ago, Point Loma Nazarene University’s baseball program went 11-21 and nothing really went their way. Oh, what a difference a year makes. The Sea Lions blasted their way to an NCAA Division-II Baseball Tournament regional title by sweeping Northwest Nazarene 7-4 and 21-5 on Friday afternoon on the San Diego coast, running its season record to an...

In the last few years, PLNU replaced some of the fences with chain links allowing fans to see sailboats float by while watching the game. NBC 7’s Derek Togerson has more from the beautiful ballpark.

This story has been updated to reflect the Aztecs’ January 18 game against UNLV has also been postponed. At this point, it appears that for every college basketball program in the country a COVID-19 pause is only a matter of time. This week it’s the Aztecs’ turn. The Mountain West Conference announced Tuesday that Saturday’s game at New Mexico...

On the schedule, it’s just an exhibition game. But make no mistake … this one means a lot more than a tally in the win column would. Point Loma Nazarene University, a Division 2 school, hosted D-1 Pepperdine on Saturday night and didn’t just beat the Waves. They ran ‘em out of the gym in an impressive 77-50 win. PLNU…
