Biola University’s men’s water polo team won their third consecutive match against the University of Toronto in an exhibition match on Saturday. Senior attacker Kenny Wulf’s hat trick led the Eagles’ offensive efficiency in the match. Meanwhile, sophomore goalie Mitchell Carpenter’s 11 saves anchored Biola’s defense.

Toronto held an early 3-2 lead before Biola found the net five consecutive times. Wulf scored two of his goals as a result of capitalized 6-on-5 opportunities from Toronto’s kick-out tendencies. The Varsity Blues managed to erase a fraction of the scoring deficit in the third period, finding themselves down by two. However, the fourth period saw another scoring stretch for Biola, diminishing Toronto’s comeback effort. The scoring barrage carried the Eagles to a 12-8 victory over the Varsity Blues.

The Eagles took four out of five matches in the California Baptist University Lancer Joust tournament, improving their record to 10-14 overall. Biola continues their season in a home scrimmage against Sierra College on Oct. 20 at 1 p.m.

About the Contributors

Caleb Crawley, Sports Editor

Caleb Crawley is a junior Interdisciplinary Studies major who enjoys attending sporting events, playing intramural sports and exploring Los Angeles. [email protected] I was born and raised in Fortuna, a small Northern California town located in Humboldt County. Humboldt is an area known for its scenic nature, beaches, redwood forests and our Victorian village known as Ferndale, CA. Growing up in Northern California during the 2010’s San Francisco Giants dynasty made it easy to fall in love with baseball. Nearly every night I would be glued to the television after my Little League games watching my beloved Giants. At the time I could name every single player on their roster, as well as their batting average. Needless to say, my childhood revolved around the game as I was either playing, watching, or reading about baseball. This passion carried me throughout my high school and community college careers, in which I was on the baseball team during my time at both institutions. I am elated to bring my love for sports to the Chimes and look forward to the opportunity to tell the stories of Biola athletes from the perspective of a former collegiate baseball player as well as an avid life-long sports fan.

Haylie Irving, Photographer

Haylie Irving is an Environmental Science Major who loves adventures, popcorn and lifting. I was born in a small town called Snohomish in Washington about an hour north of Seattle and have lived there my whole life. Snohomish is a very rural town with farms, horses, and trucks everywhere. During the fall seasons people come from all over the state to experience the pumpkin patches and corn mazes that are abundant throughout town. Moving to California has always been a dream of mine since I was little. Transferring to Biola from a small college in Washington was a huge change for me, but extremely exciting. Being able to experience sandy beaches and the endless places to explore has been my favorite part. At Biola I am studying Environmental Science in hopes of one day saving our planet single handedly (Shooting for the stars), but I have always had a passion for photography. It has been fun to see how my love for photography has integrated into my career. Since I am out in nature all the time, I can capture some amazing moments using photography. Working for the Chimes has been another way to broaden my horizons and push me into a new variety of photography that I have been really enjoying.
