Women’s soccer traveled to Bellingham, Washington on Friday to face off against the Western Washington University Warriors. The Eagles’ defense struggled to fend off the Warriors, ultimately losing the game, 1-0. Biola’s offense played a low-pressure match, only managing one shot to the Warriors’ 23 and zero shots on goal. Despite the loss, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Anna Boyer stood her ground, managing five saves.

UNAMBITIOUS MATCH

The Warriors began the first half aggressively, attempting a shot in the first 30 seconds. Within 18 minutes of the first half, Western Washington scored the only goal of the game, sailing the ball past Boyer to the high left corner of the net, 1-0. The Warriors continued to dominate the field through the remainder of the game leaving the Eagles to face defeat, 1-0.

Women’s soccer (2-3) will return home on Sept. 25 at 4 p.m. face off against Concordia University Irvine. Footage from today’s game is located on Biola Athletics’ website.

Natalie Willis is a junior journalism major who loves golden retrievers, Wes Anderson movies and rainy days. Hi! I am from Bakersfield, CA, land of cows and oil rigs. Growing up on a farm with a veterinarian father, I assumed I would follow in his footsteps to pursue a career in agriculture. God had other plans. Reluctantly, I listened but had every intention to switch my major from journalism to pretty much anything else. Half way through my freshman year, I was working on a portfolio project which involved pitching ideas, interviewing sources and telling a story—suddenly, everything clicked into place. I loved what I was doing, who I was meeting and where I thought I could go. God has a way of telling us we are on the right path and I have felt that throughout my college career. Three years ago, if someone told me I would be the editor-in-chief of a student news publication I would have politely advised them to seek counseling. Now, I cannot imagine a life without tight story deadlines and strict adherence to AP style. I am so excited to lead The Chimes this year as we enter into a new era of print media.
