As the season winds down, men’s basketball is looking to send their seniors out the right way. Senior guard Trevor Treinen has taken that matter into his own hands, stepping up his play in a big win in the Eagles’ matchup against Hawaii Pacific University on Saturday.

Treinen has been one of the most consistent players for Biola in his final season, and Saturday was a game to remember for him.

Taking on HPU at Chase Gymnasium on Saturday, Treinen led his team offensively with an eruption of 27 points. He went 4-8 from beyond the arc, popping off from deep. Treinen finished the game with 10-17 shooting from the field, and 3-5 from the free-throw line.

Treinen did not just score points, though, as he distributed the ball well with five assists, and snagged seven rebounds. He added one steal to go with that. All of this led to a big 70-56 win for the Eagles.

For his excellent play and help in contributing to an important Biola victory, Treinen earns yet another Chimes Athlete of the Week.

Joel Ashor, Sports Editor

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.
