BIOLA LEAVES HOME A WINNER
In their final home game of the season on senior night, the Eagles were able to defeat a tough, Point Loma opponent 1-0. Biola still sits in the middle of the standings (sixth) with a respectable 6-3-2 PacWest record. Three players stand out in terms of offense for the Eagles scoring four or more goals each. This group is lead by Samantha Verduzco who leads the team with five goals.
 
SEA LIONS CONTINUE FINAL ROAD TRIP
Point Loma is currently 0-1 in their final road trip of the season, dropping their most recent match at Biola. Even so, the Sea Lions are in the exact middle of the standings with a 6-5 PacWest record. Abbey Teagle leads the team's offense with three goals and four assists.
 
EAGLES ON TWO-GAME WIN STREAK
Concordia started their final road trip on a strong note by defeating Holy Names 3-0. The Eagles will have two matches before they take on the Urban Knights: first against Notre Dame de Namur, then they face off with Dominican. Concordia is currently fifth in the PacWest Conference with 21 points. Carmany Jones holds the top spot in goals for the Eagles with six on the year. Equally as impressive, teammate Cienah Reed has contributed many assists this year, accounting for a team-leading six.

PREVIOUS MATCH: Urban Knights Fall 5-0 to First-Place Lancers
Oct. 28 - Trailing at the end of the first half, Academy of Art women's soccer was unable to overcome the deficit, falling to first-place California Baptist University 5-0.
