Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Here is the latest in the world of Biola sports:
On Tuesday the Biola softball team played a double header against Point Loma and gave up both games to bring their record to one and three in conference play. Biola struggled to get anything going against the tough pitching of KC Robertson of Point Loma in both games. In the first game Biola was only able to scrape out one run on four hits, two of them coming from freshman, Keena Levert, who went two for three in the game. In game two Amerra Kesterson, Sarah Jensen and Keena Levert supplied the hits for the Eagles as they each went 1 for three in the game. Katie Gustaveson got the start and suffered the loss for Biola as she gave up five runs on eleven hits and stuck out five in her six innings of work. Biola returns to the field to play a doubleheader at Concordia University on Saturday.
Well it was just the opposite for the baseball team! The Eagles got back into the swing of winning on Wednesday as they beat Cal Sate San Bernardino thirteen to one. Chris Weems led the Biola attack as he exploded for three hits and three runs scored in three at bats against the Coyotes, while nine other Eagles had one hit apiece. Richard Fixsen blasted his first home run of the season as he belted a grand slam in the seventh inning to break things wide open. Kevin Fox got the start for Biola and went a solid five innings giving up only one run on six hits while striking out seven on his way to picking up his second win of the season. Jimmy Johnson came in a pitched the final four innings and blanked the Coyotes only giving up three hits and fanning seven. The Eagles return home on Saturday to take on GSAC rival, Point Loma Nazarene, in a double header beginning at 11:00am. The Eagles are currently ranked number three in the conference with a record of eight and three and fourteen and three overall.
The tennis team plays next against Pacific Lutheran University on March 21 at Home. Their current record is three and eight.
The track and field team has a meet coming up on March 18th. They will participate in the Long Beach Classic.
In women’s soccer news Christina Lane has signed to play for Biola in the 2006 season. Lane is a versatile player from Arizona who will play midfield and forward. Head Coach Mike Silzer anticipates a strong performance and contribution as a freshmen.
