Women’s soccer played against Concordia University Irvine on Thursday, Nov. 7, after having just played two days prior against rivals Azusa Pacific University. The Eagles got on the scoresheet, but ultimately lost the game 1-2. The team has fallen out of their nine-game PacWest winning streak with both of these back-to-back losses.

The first goal came late in the 74th minute for the Eagles. Senior forward Sarah Yang found the back of the net and was assisted by freshman midfielder Halie Jamir. This was Yang’s fourth goal of the season. Six other Eagles had shots in the game, including: Jamir, junior forward Madi deMetropolis, senior defender Colie Martin, freshman forward Christine Goodman and sophomore midfielder Katelyn Penner.

Shortly after in the 76th minute, Concordia equalized with a goal from freshman forward Jadenn Carillo, which was her ninth of the season. Carillo then came right back and scored again in the 78th minute to get the lead and secure her side the victory. The Eagles had a chance in the 86th minute, but the shot from the Biola goalscorer Yang was saved by senior goalkeeper Kaelyn Whitcomb. Whitcomb ended the game with four saves for Concordia.

The Eagles (10-5-1, 7-2-0 PacWest) will be back in action at home against Point Loma Nazarene University on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 4:30 p.m.

Zach Devane is a sophomore journalism major from Indio, California. He loves Jesus, the Los Angeles Lakers and will eat chicken in almost any form. Hi! I am from Indio, California, home of the famous Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. I know it sounds like a dream come true to live so close to where all the excitement and chatter takes place, but I assure you that hundreds of thousands of people flooding your hometown for three weeks straight is more like a nightmare. Fun fact, I have lived in Indio for 17 of my 20 years of life and I have only been to Coachella once. The people I look up to most in my life are my parents. My father grew up playing basketball in Los Angeles and ever since I was a little kid he wanted to make sure that I would be a “BALLER!” (which he also called himself very often, and was just as often met with an eye-roll from my mother). Although I never made it to the NBA, my love for basketball, and sports in general, has never waned. I get excited to watch a game, hear sports talk on the radio, or even read/write an article about sports, even if I am a NARP. I decided to combine my love for sports with a love for storytelling here at the Chimes. Sports in their nature are inspiring. They call for one to go beyond what they think is possible in order to achieve a goal, and when one does so, that story should be heard. I want to tell these stories here at Biola and hopefully inspire a generation of students to reach for more.
