BIOLA (5-3-2, 3-0 PacWest) vs. Hawaii Pacific (3-2, 1-2 PacWest): Thursday Oct. 11 at 3 p.m. \\ Live Stats \\ Live Video ($)
Biola hopes Leo Thompson can harness the mometum from his two-goal performance last Saturday and become the third elite scorer the Sharks have had to face in the past four matches. Gabriel Acosta of Azusa Pacific and William Briggs of Dominican both scored goals in the matches their team won against the Sharks and are tied for most goals among PacWest players with 11. After scoring twice on Saturday against Concordia, Thompson now has six goals and three in the last two conference matches, so he figures to be Biola's best bet to provide a key goal against Hawaii Pacific. Fans attending the match will be able to park and gain admission for free. The match is currently scheduled to take place on the field outside the Stadium at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex, where fans should expect "camp style" seating around the pitch as bleachers are not available.

BIOLA (5-3-2, 3-0 PacWest) vs. Chaminade (2-3-1, 1-2-1 PacWest): Saturday Oct. 13 at 3:00 p.m. \\ Live Stats
Outside of a four-goal outburst against Hawaii Hilo on Sept. 22, the Silverswords have played a number of close matches against PacWest opponents and have scored one goal or fewer in five of their six matches this season. Chaminade has received goals from six different student-athletes but are still waiting for their first multi-goal scorer of the season.  On-campus parking will be available for free, in addition to free admission to the match for fans traveling to Oahu. Chaminade has also provided driving directions to the match site from Waikiki.


ABOUT LAST WEEK:
While it improved to 2-1 in PacWest play, Biola did something that no other conference team had done this season, prevent Concordia forward Connor Gordon from having an impact on the match. Gordon came in having scored nine goals across Concordia's previous four matches but was limited to just one shot and zero goals at Al Barbour Field on Saturday. Concordia was only able to produce one shot-on-goal during the second half, a harmless bouncer scooped up by Luis Rodriguez in the 66th minute, while forward Leo Thompson lifted the Eagles to victory with goals in the first minute of the match and the first minute of the second overtime. Biola is now 4-0-0 in matches this season when it scores the first goal of the match.
