Basketball season has arrived and the Eagles are off to a 5-2 start in non-conference play, thanks in large part to the play of junior shooting guard Trevor Treinen. Treinen started every game for Biola last season, and has taken his play to another level to start 2017-18, pouring in points from beyond the arch at a high level. Treinen has scored 76 points in the Eagles’ last four games, including an impressive 28-point effort against Life Pacific College on Nov. 22 in which he hit seven three-pointers. In addition to his impressive shooting, Treinen has snagged 15 rebounds in the last four games and has played exceptional defense. What makes Treinen’s play the most impressive is the consistency with which he performs considering how little rest he gets. He has recorded 136 minutes in the last four games as one of the Eagles’ primary rotation pieces, and he continues to produce stellar play throughout each game. As Biola heads into PacWest play, look for Treinen to continue to lead the offense with strong shooting from deep. For his exceptional three-point shooting and strong defensive play, Treinen is the Chimes Athlete of the Week.

I laughed the first time I heard a former editor-in-chief use the line “once you join the Chimes, you never really leave.” Now in my third year here, it turns out the joke’s on me. After two years in the sports section, including last year as sports editor, I’m thrilled to be serving this year as managing editor to help build upon the legacy of such a great publication.
My aspirations remain in sports journalism, but experience has deepened my love for dedicated local news reporting and its importance in communities. Much of my appreciation for that type of journalism came through working as a digital production intern for NBC Los Angeles last summer. There I helped cover stories such as the Trader Joe’s hostage crisis, the Cranston and Holy wildfires, and the Lakers’ overhaul of their iconic uniforms.
I am so excited to help build this next chapter of the Chimes as we become a web-first publication with a deeper, dedicated focus on the communities in and around campus. I also contribute a print sports column, “Everything Eagles,” which provides a deeper look into Biola Athletics.
