Women’s soccer headed to San Marcos, California to face off against the Cal State San Marcos Cougars. The Eagles managed to make one goal but it was not enough as they took their second loss of the season, 2-1. Despite the loss, Biola maintained possession for a majority of the first half with seven saves and six corner kicks.

COUGARS CONQUER THE EAGLES

Biola attempted three shots on goal in the first 15 minutes of the first period. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Anna Boyer managed three saves in the first period. At the 30-minute mark, redshirt sophomore forward Christine Maranville scored the first goal of the game, assisted by redshirt midfielder Halie Jamir.

The Cougars led the second period, leaving the Eagles in the dust. At 59 minutes, San Marcos tied the game, 1-1. Biola responded with two shots on goal in an attempt to increase their score and take the lead. The attempt failed as the Cougars scored once again and won the game, 2-1.

Women’s soccer (1-2) will return home to Al Barbour field to play Cal State Los Angeles on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. Footage and stats 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.
