LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Strong team defense and impressive shooting helped Biola to a 74-49 win over NCAA Division II Cal State LA in a non-conference game on Wednesday night at Chase Gymnasium.

Junior Danny Campbell led the Eagles (6-1) with a game-high 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field which included three three-pointers. He also added three steals and two assists in the winning effort. The Golden Eagles fall to 1-4 with the loss.

Biola got off to a strong start in the game, jumping out to a quick 13-1 lead over the course of the first five minutes. The Golden Eagles finally hit their first field goal of the game at the 13:59 mark as Chris Mark hit a jumper in the lane. That would spark a short run by Cal State LA as the visitors pulled within five at 13-8. Biola began to pull away at the end of the half. Leading 24-15 with 4:14 to play, Biola closed out the half on a 10-4 run to take a 34-19 lead to the locker room.

The second half was more of the same as Biola continued to fire away and stretch the lead. The Eagles would lead by as many as 27 in the game before wrapping up the contest with the 74-49 win.
