Box Score ROCKLIN, Calif. --- David Cline scored a game-high 22 points and Biola fought off a three-point barrage to edge William Jessup University 67-65 in a non-conference game at the WJU Activities Center on Friday night.

The Eagles improve to 7-2 with their third-straight win while dropping the Warriors to 1-7 with a loss on WJU's Homecoming night.

Cline scored 22 points--his third game with at least 20 points on the season--and added nine rebounds including four on the offensive glass. He hit 9-of-15 from the field and had four free throws.

Mike Kurtz and Dakota Anderson each had 12 points with Kurtz adding eight rebounds and three blocks.

William Jessup had an impressive three-point shooting night, hitting 9-of-23 from beyond the dark including 6-of-13 in the first half.

Biola got off to a fast start in the game, quickly opening a 19-13 lead seven minutes into the contest. But the Eagles went ice cold while the Warriors came alive, scoring 13-straight points over the next five minutes to take a 25-19 lead.

They would stretch the lead to as many as eight at 29-21 before Biola rallied. Cody Wittick and Anderson hit back-to-back three-pointers to cut the deficit to one and a put-back basket by Kurt with 15 seconds left in the half tied the game at 36-36 at the halftime.

The second half was a back-and-forth affair with the Spartans leading through the first 10 minutes. With William Jessup leading 53-49, Biola went on a quick 11-0 run over a three minute stretch with Anderson scoring six of those points.

The Eagles still held a five-point lead on a bucket by Cline which made it a 66-61 game with 3:25 to go. William Jessup cut into the lead with a basket by Marquis Robinson scoring a put-back with 2:02 left. After a pair of missed chances by the Eagles, the Warriors made it a one-point game with free throws by Ben Chung.

Biola would turn the ball over on its next possession and that gave William Jessup four shots over the final minute to take the lead. However, all four shots missed their mark and Cline pulled down a key rebound with four seconds left and was fouled.

He hit the first free throw to extend the lead to two, but missed the second. The Warriors quickly pushed the ball up the court and Keenan Prince took an off-balance runner from NBA three-point range. The desperation shot fell short and Biola escaped with the two-point victory.

Biola shot a solid 50 percent in the contest, hitting 25-of-50 in the contest including 6-of-12 from three-point range. The Warriors hit 42.3 percent (22-52).

Chung and Prince led William Jessup with 13 points each.

Biola closes out its short road trip by traveling to face Cal Maritime on Saturday night at 7:00 p.m.
