LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Despite the fact that its played six matches in seven days and the weather at the Biola Tennis Center was draining, Biola men's tennis played extremely well in an 8-1 victory over Pacific Lutheran on Wednesday.
 
It was a 10:00 a.m. matchup in La Mirada, but the sun was up and shining bright and hot throughout, but the Eagles' game was just as hot in a runaway victory to put the team two games above .500 with just five regular season matches left to play.
 
The win moved Biola to 10-8 on the season, which eclipsed 2014's tally of nine match victories, which was a record for most team victories in a season.
 
"The boys played great today," said Head Coach Brent Worthington. "They were tired, but they came out ready to play and performed well."
 
Biola won five of the six singles matches and swept doubles in another dominant day on the court. The only loss they suffered was at No. 1 singles, where Tayven Townsend dropped his match in straight sets, 3-6; 1-6.
 
After Townsend it was all successes all the way down the lineup for Worthington's squad, highlighted by a 6-0; 6-0 win for Luke Mountain at the No. 4 position. It is Mountain's third perfect victory in as many days.
 
Brandon Chang played in the most competitive singles match of the morning, taking his win in straight sets over James Okubo, but not until after gutting out 7-5 victories in each set.
 
"Brandon again showed great heart by winning a close match that required both mental and physical toughness," said Worthington. "He's played extremely well the past two weeks."
 
Philip Westwood, Joe Turnquist and David Garcia each added another win to their singles winning streaks.
 
Doubles was another venture of success for the squad, shutting down the Lutes in 8-3 and 8-0 wins at the No. 1 and No. 2 positions and Garcia and Turnquist escaped with an 8-5 win at the No. 3 slot.
 
Biola becomes 10-8 this season with the victory and the Lutes fall to 2-11. The Eagles have a few days to catch their breath again before hosting San Diego Christian at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Biola will look to avenge a 3-6 loss suffered to the Hawks earlier this season.
