ALL ABOUT THE ACES

Biola went back and forth a majority of the four sets. The Mustangs made the first point during the first set and the Eagles responded with three points. From there it was even in terms of each team gaining points. The Eagles went on a four-point streak leaving their opponents unable to catch up and Biola won the first set, 25-18. The women kept the same spirit in set two. The set could have been anyone’s considering both teams were making points left and right, but the Eagles did not let up, winning the second set 26-24.

The Eagles were unable to win set three, sending them into a fourth set. The women started off by making five points back to back. This would set the tone as Biola dominated the Mustangs, leaving them unable to catch up or even tie the score, 25-17.

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.
