Coming off their win against Westmont Tuesday night, the Biola Eagles volleyball team walked into the Menlo College Oaks’ gym Friday looking for another win to add to their already very impressive season record of 25-4. They were able to do just that, beating Menlo in four sets, improving their overall record to 26-4. This was not a conference match, so the team’s league record remains 13-1.

The match was not a particularly easy victory for the Eagles, as Menlo put up a good fight against Biola through all four sets. The Eagles came out firing in the first set, and quickly got a comfortable lead. The largest lead Biola had in the first set was 15-6, which proved unsurmountable for the Oaks. Biola won the first set 25-18.

Menlo won the second set, rallying back from a seven point deficit. They trailed the Eagles 20-13, at which point they stepped up their game and fought back. Biola had six chances to win the match by the time it ended, but was unable to pull ahead of Menlo, who ultimately pulled out the extra point win at 30-28.

Biola bounced back quickly and won the next two sets to take the match victory. In the third set, Menlo found themselves in a similar position in the second set, trailing Biola 21-13. The Eagles would not be denied this time, however, and pushed ahead to the 25-19 win. The fourth and final set was much closer than the previous three, as both teams fought hard for momentum. When the score was 14-15 in Menlo’s favor, the Eagles went on a six point run, capturing the momentum and ultimately sealing the win.

Senior middle blocker Amy Weststeyn had another excellent night, tallying 15 kills, one ace and two solo blocks. She also led all attackers that had three or more kills in kill percentage at .464. Weststeyn was not the only standout on the stats sheet though, as the outside hitting duo of senior Britta Blaser and junior Alyssa Mason both got 12 kills on the night.

The Eagles play their second to last game of the regular season, a conference match, against William Jessup University at 2 p.m. on Nov. 8.
