The Eagles went against California Baptist University Lancers in Riverside, Calif. on Feb. 10 and received their worst lost of the season. CBU went on several large runs, leaving the Eagles little room to score before a humiliating final score of 80-35.

QUICK FIRST HALF HOLE

In the opening of the first quarter, the Eagles had their only lead when they scored two points with a layup from freshman forward Jazz Benn. The Eagles could not gain another lead over CBU after the Lancers went on a six-point run. Both teams traded three point shots and the quarter ended with the Eagles a few points behind at 12-8. In the second quarter, the Eagles scored nine points but CBU dominated the period with several large runs. Cal Baptist gained a huge lead by the time the halftime buzzer sounded, leading by a score of 32-17.

CAL BAPTIST ADDS TO ROUT

In the third quarter, the Eagles scored 12 points but fell further behind as Cal Baptist continued to rain down buckets. CBU scored a total of 25 points in the quarter alone and continued to push the Eagles further behind as the period ended with a score of 57-29. In the final quarter, the Eagles barely found any offense, as they only scored six points. Cal Baptist, however continued pouring it on at the other end and increased their lead to 45 points by the end of the game.

Benn scored 11 points and sophomore guard Tatum Brimley had two steals. Senior guard Demoria White grabbed six rebounds and one assist.

The blowout moved the Eagles to 8-8 in the PacWest conference and 11-11 overall. Their next game will be at home against Dominican University on Feb. 12 at 5:30 p.m.

Sasha Terry is a senior journalism major who is known for her positivity and passion. She enjoys writing, playing sports, watching movies, traveling, shopping and spending time with friends and family. After traveling from Auburn, Washington which is about 40 minutes south of Seattle, to Biola University, I declared to major in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast. I came to Biola University with a strong passion for being involved in activities on campus that would demonstrate my artistic and writing abilities. The Chimes caught my eye the first semester of my freshman year and I decided to work with the staff as a freelance sports writer. I enjoyed attending the games, interviewing the coaches and players and writing game recaps. The next semester, I applied for the sports staff writer position and was accepted, which strengthened my writing drastically. During my sophomore and junior year, I worked as a Web Editor and innovated the Chimes website and social media pages. This year, I am stepping into the Copy Editor position and I aim to continue working towards my goal of being a broadcast journalist by reporting stories and challenging myself to learn more about AP Style. I will also continue to write for the sports section to strengthen my writing even more. I’m so glad to be a part of the staff and I’m excited for what’s to come next.
