MVT Staff, FPU Report
Fresno Pacific's men's basketball team earned an at-large berth in the 2020-21 NCAA Di- vision II Tournament for the first time in school history.
The Sunbirds (11-7, 8-0 PacWest Conference) re- ceived a spot as the sixth and final seed in the Gold- en, Colo. Regional when the NCAA announced its field on March 7. The team will play No. 3 seed Biola at noon Thursday, March 11. A win over the Eagles, who received the automatic vid from the PacWest Conference, would advance FPU to a Saturday, March 13, 5 p.m. meeting against host Colorado School of Mines.
The Sunbirds fin- ished the unique season as the only PacWest Con- ference team to go unde- feated in pod play, join- ing Hawai’i Hilo and Bi- ola as Pod Champions. A 3-1 performance in non- league games gave FPU an 11-1 record against Division II teams, the best win percentage of
any team in the league. Aamondae Coleman has led the way this sea- son for FPU, finishing the regular season as the PacWest’s leading scorer and claiming three Nor- Cal Player of the Week awards. The Sunbirds closed out the regular season on March 6 with their seventh straight win, this one a 76-70 non-conference decision in Fresno against Hum-
boldt State.
The Sunbirds have
an average margin of victory of 12 points dur- ing the seven-game win streak. Adrian Antunez led FPU in scoring with 19 points, Coleman and Raine McKeython had 17 points each while Im- manuel High product Nate Kendricks added six points, three assists, two steals and two re- bounds.
Junior wing player Kendricks finished the regular season with an 11.1 points per game scoring average, with a high game of 22 points and three steals against Academy of Art on Feb. 6.

Reedley travels to Fres- no's McLane Stadium for games against Fresno (April 2) and McLane (April 16). Kickoff times will be announced.
Dinuba's other home games are against Kingsburg (April 2, 7 p.m.) and Bullard (April 16, 7 p.m.). The Emperors will travel to Selma to play the Bears in their newlty-remodeled Staley Stadium on Friday, April 9, at 7 p.m.
Immanuel High School, mean- while, is playing just one single football game for Spring 2021. The Eagles will host Yosemite High at 6 p.m. on Friday, April 16, at County Line Stadium in the Immanuel Sports Complex. The non-league contest with the Badgers will serve as both Home- coming and Senior Night for the school, which has held on-campus instruction the entire 2020-21 school year.
Any changes or addition to prep football schedules in the region for Spring 2021 will be published in future issues of The Times.
