Barr, the former walk-on, had one match-winner, but she assisted on two other match-winners.
Junior Taylor Lundquist, from San Jose, Calif., played ever minute of every game for the Eagles this season, scoring one goal and adding six assists, tying for fifth in the conference in that category.

Sophomore Jessica Austin, who hails from Altadena, Calif., had a stellar season for Biola, scoring nine goals and adding two assists for a team-best 20 points. Her goal total was the most by a Biola player since the 2004 season. Three of her goals were match-winners including a pair of overtime goals, one against arch-rival Azusa Pacific University and the other in a key win at The Master's College late in the season.
Biola wrapped up its season by winning seven of its final nine matches, placing second in the GSAC with a 7-2-0 record and posting a 10-6-1 mark in conference play.
