STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) Jared Brownridge had 26 points on Saturday night and Santa Clara shot 61 percent in the second half to pull away for a 64-47 win over Pacific.

Santa Clara opened the second half with 10 straight points and weathered Pacific's response - a 9-2 run to get within 39-36 - before steadily pulling away the rest of the way.
