While most students were enjoying the last few days of break, men’s basketball climbed to over .500 in PacWest conference play in Northern California. The Eagles picked up victories at Notre Dame de Namur University, Academy of Art University and Dominican University, thanks in large part to the play of senior guard Trevor Treinen.

Treinen got off to a hot start in the first game, recording 16 points and five assists to lead the offense to an 82-54 blowout win at Notre Dame de Namur on Jan. 5.

Taking on Academy of Art two days later, Treinen kicked his scoring into another gear, tallying 23 points in a 62-54 win.

In their matchup on Jan. 10 at Dominican, Treinen posted his season high with 26 points as Biola picked up their third consecutive win 75-66.

For his excellent efforts leading the Eagles to three straight victories and one of their best stretches since joining the PacWest, Treinen is the Chimes Athlete of the Break.

Joel Ashor is a junior broadcast journalism major with a love for sports, friends, and history. Joel is a Notre Dame football, Angels baseball, and Boston Celtics fan. [email protected] Growing up in the small city of Santa Maria, California as the youngest of four boys, I was always surrounded by things much earlier than normal, due to the fact that I experienced things through my much older brothers. One of the things I experienced was sports, and when I started watching and seeing what it looked like to be on a sports team, I fell in love. In my family, sports is not really an option, it just is something that we all do. Luckily my parents never had to force me or my brothers to play sports because we all had a passion for it. From a young age I immersed myself in the culture of sports, watching any sport that was on, growing a particular liking to college football. My uncle attended the University of Notre Dame, and my whole family are die-hard Irish fans. Naturally I became one as well, and I remember Saturday mornings with the family quite clearly. As I grew older I began to see and understand more about what it took to broadcast a live sports game, and I became quite intrigued by it. I decided I wanted to be involved with sports for the rest of my life and cover it in some form. One of the sports commentators I look up to greatly and have always liked is NBC sports reporter Bob Costas, who is a jack of all trades broadcaster and covers all sports from the Olympics to football and many more. I aspire to be a broadcast journalist someday, and the Chimes is an excellent way to hone my skills and continue to practice writing and talking about sports. I look forward to my growth while working with the Chimes in reporting accurately and quickly, and cannot wait to cover Biola sports.
