Biola soccer kicked off their season this afternoon in San Diego, CA. They were hopeful with a win 2-0 in their exhibition game last week versus the Vanguard University Lions. However, the women’s soccer team lost today’s PacWest game 0-2 to the Point Loma Nazarene University Sea Lions.

DEFEATED DEBUT

Thirty minutes into the first period was full of competitive play but resulted in a goal made by the Sea Lions. This left the Eagles trying to put pressure on the Sea Lions in hopes to even the score.

The Eagles put up a good defense in the second half, but it was not enough, as the Sea Lions made another goal with 20 minutes left in the game, leaving the final score 0-2. There were five saves total by the Eagles senior goalkeeper Briana Ruelas and freshman goalkeeper Anna Boyer.

The Eagles (0-1) will return home to Al Barbour Field Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. against Concordia University Irvine. Footage from today’s game is located on Biola Athletics’ website.

[email protected] I was born and raised in California, but I have always moved around. Although I have always lived here I have never missed the opportunity to get out of LA. My father is an immigrant and my mother is first-generation Mexican. I am the first in my family to attend college and I am proud of that. School does not come easy to me and I am glad I have pushed myself. I went to college in Seattle, WA but moved back due to my mother getting sick. When I got back to LA, I hit the ground running. I enrolled in community college and started working. I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I took one photography class and I knew this is what I want to do. My love for journalism, photography, and sports started on the sidelines of my high school football field. Every single game junior-senior year you could find me on the sidelines taking photos or getting a quote from a coach. I have never been athletic but I enjoy watching and learning about all different sports. I love telling stories. This is just my first year at Biola as a transfer student and first semester at The Chimes but I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
