Softball splits for a second time against CUI

Biola softball played their second doubleheader against the Concordia University Irvine Golden Eagles at home in La Mirada, Calif. on Saturday afternoon. The first game was a blowout leaving Biola in the dust, 0-6. The Eagles barely swung by in the second second game, 3-2.

Biola was unable to bring it home for the first game, as CUI blew it out of the park. The first three innings were extremely quiet until the fourth inning where CUI made their first point. CUI showed no mercy, going on to make five more runs. Ultimately, Biola gave into defeat, 0-6.

SECOND CHANCE

The loss from the first game fueled a fight within the women, as they showed up and defeated the Golden Eagles for the second time this week. The start of the game was not promising but the Eagles made a comeback scoring three points, ultimately winning the game. Freshman outfielder Maddie Riley hit to the left field, advancing to second on the throw and sending in freshman outfielder Allie Beck to score the first point of game two. 

Sophomore infielder Kiana Meriales followed in the same fashion, hitting the ball right up the middle for freshman infield/outfielder Alexis Lara to run home and tie the score. At the bottom of the eighth freshman shortstop Rilee Ruvalcaba hit a double, sending sophomore outfielder Madison Blossey home, breaking the tie and securing a victory, 3-2. The Eagles’ women (4-4) will go up against Azusa Pacific University in a doubleheader away at the Cougar Softball Complex. The first game starts at 4 p.m. on March 16. The livestream is available on the Biola Athletics website.

Natalie Hernandez is a junior journalism major who loves cooking with her boyfriend, enjoys photo adventures, and new experiences. [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.
