Biola women’s soccer opened up its season with a win against Stanislaus State Warriors, 1-0. The Eagles used last week’s exhibition game against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps as motivation to keep up the energy in order to gain another victory.

SECOND HALF SAVE

The Eagles kept the field even against the Warriors for a majority of the game. Biola made several attempts to score in the first half but were unsuccessful. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Anna Boyer hustled into this afternoon’s game, finishing with seven saves.

The women continued going head-to-head in the second half. With only 10 minutes left in the game and the score tied for zero, it looked hopeless. Just when the Eagles were ready to finish the game, redshirt junior forward Sarah Freed scored the one and only goal of the game, resulting in triumph for Biola, 1-0.

Women’s soccer (1-0) will return to Al Barbour Field on Sept. 6 at 11 a.m. against Chico State University. Footage from today’s game is located on 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.
