LA MIRADA, Calif. --- Biola Men's Soccer took the field today in the second matchup against the undefeated Sea Lions this season. In another physical battle, PLNU held Biola scoreless for 90 minutes.

Although the final results did not favor Biola, Head Coach Torrey Stricklen was still proud of the effort he saw from his team. 

"I am proud of our guys for the character and commitment they showed for 90 minutes," said Coach Stricklen. "We have a lot of injuries right now and only had 12 guys eligible to play, that's no excuse but I am still proud of the effort put forth by our team."

There was no shortage of physical play in tonight's action. The back and forth match featured nine total yellow cards being issued to both teams, five to BU and four to PLNU. 

Point Loma's first chance of the night came in the 17th minute of the game, they were unable to score as JD Gunn made a diving save. In his second game of the year, Gunn kept the Sea Lions off the board in the first half with three saves. 

Both teams walked off the field in the first half scoreless after 45 minutes of back and forth action.
