LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola suffered its second consecutive setback with its 8-1 loss to NCAA Division II's No. 13-ranked Fresno Pacific Sunbirds on Tuesday.
 
Despite the loss, the season continues to be a positive one for Head Coach David Goodman and his team, as they continue to see growth and have already equaled their win total from all of last year.
 
The Eagles' lone point on the day came with a convincing win at the No. 1 doubles spot.
 
Tayven Townsend and Isaiah Pekary combined to get their first doubles win of the season in their third try together. They defeated Kyle Rowe and Thomas Gely of FPU in a solid 8-4 showing.
 
Twonsend and Pekary, along with the rest of the team, did not do so well in the singles competition. Outside of Biola's No. 1 and No. 6, every Eagles' singles player had at least one 6-0 loss in a set.
 
Lucas Lee put forth a solid effort in the No. 1 spot, fighting to 6-4 and 6-3 losses to the Sunbirds' No. 1, Michael Tymkiw. Greg Cobian was the only other Eagle to not suffer a 6-0 loss, but he did still suffer a two-set setback (6-2, 6-1) to FPU's Daniel Gianopulos.
 
It was the third time this season that the Eagles failed to pick up a single set in singles play.
 
Biola gets back into action Feb. 25 with a road match against Hope International. The first action of that Golden State Athletic Conference match begins at 2 p.m.
