Game Recap: Men's Water Polo |

Eagles Rule The ROOSt

Biola sets aside the Austin College 'Roos with a 12-10 tally.

LA MIRADA, Calif. — Biola Men's Water Polo showed zero signs of slowing down during their third match of the day on Friday while taking on the Roos of Austin College.

For Biola, it was a tough task of playing in back-to-back contests at SPLASH! La Mirada Regional Aquatics Center, beginning this match just 15 minutes following the conclusion of their thrilling, and physically demanding one-goal win over Westcliff.

Thankfully, Head Coach Rick Nordell had the depth to put some fresh legs in the water for the nightcap contest, and the team worked its way to a 12-10 victory to improve to 10-14 on the season.

Joshua Dachenhausen got the start in goal for BU and picked up the win, working a solid first half where he allowed just four goals to the Eagles' opposition from Texas. He handed the reigns off to Casey Cazanjian who did a fantastic job working all but seven seconds of the second half.

Cazanjian managed eight saves and racked up an impressive four steals while injecting some energy into this Eagles' team. He was replaced in "goal" during the final seven seconds of the third period as Biola inserted Dominic Hidalgo-Valecillo in to end that period with seven field players.

Unfortunately, Biola could not get a shot off before time expired in the period, but hey at least Hidalgo-Valecillo will maintain a perfect goals-against average.

Biola built its win with four goals in the first, two in the second, four in the third and then another two during the game's final stanza. The BU defense during periods two and three made all the difference as BU out-scored its opponent 6-3 during those two frames.

The Eagles scored three of the game's first four goals and then added a stretch of four-straight split between the third and fourth quarter to formulate the match's two largest runs.

Jonas Huckabay scored the final two goals of that four-goal run. He recorded his first career hat trick in this one to finish second on the team in terms of total goals. Caleb Hernandez led all BU scorers with four tallies. Austin College had an ace up their sleeve on the other end with Cade Griffith accounting for 60 percent of their offense.

Christian Trapp was the leading point man for Biola and often served as the steadying force for the Eagles on the offensive end as he played most of this match. Trapp had one goal to go with four assists to set a new career-high with five points. Today's match was Trapp's third multi-point outing of the season.

The Eagles host the CBU Lancer Joust once again on Saturday, but it will have a little different flavor as it's one exhibition match and two scrimmages. Biola begins the day facing the University of Toronto at 11:30 a.m. and then scrimmages Cuesta College at 4 p.m.

All games will be live streamed, but since the final match is a scrimmage no live stats will be available.
