Men’s soccer took on another road match in Irvine, California against Concordia University on Thursday afternoon. The Eagles defense kept the game scoreless in the first half but fell out of sync in the second half, allowing two goals in the Golden Eagles victory over BU, 0-2.

Half one was promising. The Eagles were able to keep CUI out of the goalie’s net even with 23 shots on goal for the entire game. Freshman goalkeeper JD Gunn was the leading factor in the strong defensive performance for Biola. Gunn made nine saves on goal to put a halt to the Golden Eagle’s threats. Junior forward Jack MacDonald took the intensity of the game to the point of earning a yellow card in the 43rd minute.

However, the second half was much different. The Eagles defense became soft after holding CUI off from 15 shots on goal. Concordia found their first goal during the 68th minute of play, and shortly later recorded their second and final goal in the 83rd minute.

The Eagles (6-7-3, 4-3-2 PacWest) look to bounce back from two straight losses, and will take on Point Loma Nazarene University at home on Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.

Andi Basista is a senior journalism major who loves basketball, underground music and is highly appreciative of a good beach day. [email protected] Originally from a small farm town in Ohio, I have put aside my corn shucking gloves to embrace a new life in the Angel City to study sports journalism. It is true what they say about culture shock and LA traffic. I am used to being late to work because of getting stuck behind a John Deere tractor, but now it is because of gridlock on the I5. However, I have quickly adjusted to the city life and haven’t looked back since. I moved from the midwest out to Los Angeles over two years ago. Since then my life has changed in big ways. I have learned the importance of pursuing my dreams in order to make them a reality. Sports have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. From the time I was able to stand up on my own, there was always a ball in my hand. Basketball quickly became my MO. I was involved in multiple athletic organizations, traveling on AAU teams and playing my way through my middle and high school league. My passion for the sport is what inspired me to pursue a career in sports journalism. Being at a place like Biola that has an abundance of opportunities has allowed me to expand from my small-town roots, and that is something I am truly thankful for.
