LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola played one of its best overall matches of the season and walked away with an 1-1 draw against No. 6 Cal Baptist on Wednesday night in a GSAC match at Al Barbour Field.

The Eagles move to 5-6-3 on the season with one match remaining and are now 1-5-3 in GSAC play. The Lancers go to 13-3-1 and are 7-1-1 in conference action.

Biola got on the board first on a brilliant header by junior midfielder Kahlie Rienecke. Reinecke deflected a great cross of the foot of sophomore Caitlin Peterson to the far side of the goal to give Biola an early 1-0 lead just 25 minutes in.

The two teams continued to battle back-and-forth with the Lancers playing with a renewed sense of urgency. They came close to tying the score in the 44th minute as a shot by Lindsey Merrett clanged off the crossbar.
