On Nov. 6, women’s soccer faced the Dominican University of California Penguins at home, earning another victory, 2-1. Although the match got off to a slow start, the second period picked up when both teams scored back-to-back goals, effectively tying the match and moving into overtime.

OVERTIME OPPORTUNITY

The first period was uneventful for both teams, with the Eagles totaling three shots on goal and two saves against Dominican. For their part, the Penguins kept Biola scoreless until the second half.

Similarly, the second half progressed slowly until the Penguins made the first goal of the game at the 55th minute. The Eagles were thrown off track by the goal but quickly got back on track as redshirt junior midfielder Katelyn Penner tied the game with assistance from redshirt sophomore midfielder Halie Jamir. The second half ended with a draw, 1-1, and ran into overtime.

With the game on the line, the Eagles wasted no time securing their overtime victory. Only a minute into overtime, redshirt freshman defender Jess Hase assisted again by Jamir, sailed the game winning goal to the back of the net, 2-1.

Women’s soccer (7-8-1 overall, 5-4-0 conference) will return to the field on Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. to face Azusa Pacific University at home. Stats from today’s match are located on the Biola Athletics website.

Natalie Willis, Editor-in-Chief

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.
