Following three consecutive home matches, Biola traveled to San Diego on Saturday to take on Point Loma Nazarene University. The Eagles dropped the match by a score of 4-0 to a talented SeaLions squad.

At No. 1 doubles, junior Lauren Lee and freshman Esther Lee fell by a final score of 6-2. At No. 2 the pairing of senior Tinisee Kandakai and sophomore Madison Swaney dropped their match 6-1, and the No. 3 duo of junior Allison Torres and freshman Ines Diaz fell 6-4.

Having won the doubles point, the SeaLions only needed three singles wins and they got to quick work on that as sophomore Sarah Morgan lost 6-0, 6-1. Torres then dropped her match 6-1, 6-1, and Lee fell 6-0, 6-2 to clinch the match for Point Loma.

Diaz, sophomore Lily Waterhouse, and freshman Anna Hartmann all had their matches cut short in the second set.

The Eagles (5-5) will look to get back into the win column at home on Monday against Colorado Mesa University at 1:30 p.m.

About the Contributor

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.
