In the past three wins for the Eagles, they have been able to win the doubles point. Today was no different as they won all three matches to secure the one point that was crucial in placing them over Stanislaus State.

Despite the tight final score, the Eagles secured the win against the Warriors after the fourth singles match was won. Freshman Colbyshae Emery closed out her opponent in straight sets, winning her first set 6-4 and her second 6-3.

Sophomore Ines Diaz and freshman Brooke Fager also won their singles matches. Diaz dominated her opponent, winning the first set 6-2 and the second 6-0. Fager was equally efficient, finishing both her sets 6-3. Senior Allison Torres and junior Madison Swaney both lost their matches in straight sets.

The Eagles (6-5) will look to continue their winning streak as they head to San Diego, California to face Point Loma Nazarene University on Monday, March 2 at 4 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.
