The women’s basketball team beat La Sierra 86-50 at home on Nov. 19. Senior forward Elizabeth Munger lead the Eagles with 10 points and three rebounds to a 47-15 first half lead. Biola finished the game with a close second half score of 39-35 Biola.

The Eagles outscored La Sierra by 32 points in the first half. Biola has not led a team by that large of a margin in at least four years. They shot above 50 percent from the field and behind the arch and grabbed 25 team rebounds.

“Looking inside first [was the key to victory],” said junior guard Annie Park. “We focused on our post play given the fact that we had size. then once they started crowding on the inside we started to get easy buckets on the outside. It was a very good team win.”

La Sierra played a much closer second half, scoring 20 more points than they did in the first. Junior forward Taylor Casey scored seven points and grabbed five boards off the bench for Biola and the Eagles finished the second half outscoring La Sierra 39-35.

“We can’t let up,” said Munger. “Just because we have a good first have doesn’t mean we can get complacent. We just got to keep going at it the whole game.”

Senior forward Chelsea Hill led the Eagles with 14 points, six assists and five rebounds. Junior forward Jasmine Longtin also scored a career high nine points for the Eagles while securing three rebounds.

Biola plays the 4-0 Westminster College at home Nov. 22. Last season the Eagles lost to Westminster 62-34.
