Men’s soccer returned home from their successful Hawaii tour to gain another win. Biola faced off against the Concordia University Irvine Golden Eagles, taking their fifth win in a row. The Eagles scored three goals in the first period and added two more goals in the second period to secure their win, 5-2.

LOCKING IN THE LEAD 

The first half was intense for both teams. In the first 10 minutes of the game graduate student midfielder Daniel Simonis fired off the first goal of the game assisted by redshirt junior midfielder Aidan Hill. CUI quickly responded with a goal of their own, tying the game. Redshirt junior defender Izaac Zausch scored another goal, putting the Eagles ahead. 

Two shots were attempted by the Golden Eagles, but redshirt sophomore goalkeeper JD Gunn saved both attempts. With less than 30 seconds left on the clock, redshirt freshman forward Adam Jones shot goal number three, putting the Eagles at a two-point advantage.

SEALING THE DEAL

To start off the second period, CUI continued attempting shots but Gunn held his ground making two more saves against the Golden Eagles. CUI became successful shortly after, making the score 3-2. 

Biola’s offense hustled and Hill was successful to meet the back of the net with the help of redshirt junior midfielder Jonathan Serrano. To seal the deal with only 10 minutes left on the clock, Simonis scored another goal assisted by Jones. 

Gunn totaled eight saves and the Eagles won, 5-2.

Men’s soccer (10-4 overall 6-1 conference) will return home, facing off against Holy Names University at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4. Statistics and footage from today’s game are 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.
