If Pacheco wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Beyer, they should've done a better job of containing Kylie Kulina. The Beyer Patriots sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 47-45 victory over the Pacheco Panthers on Thursday thanks in part to Kulina, who almost dropped a double-double on 26 points and nine boards. That makes it four consecutive games in which she has scored at least a third of Beyer's points.
