Eagles Face Top-10 Foe

Biola fought No. 10 Fresno State on Saturday and fell to the hosting Bulldogs.

FRESNO, Calif. --- The Eagles took their turn taking on the hosting team of the Fresno State Invite on Saturday. BU (3-8) faced the 10th-ranked Bulldogs (5-7) in an afternoon matchup but came up short in a 14-8 final score.

It did not take long for either offense to find its footing on Saturday. The two teams compiled seven goals in the first quarter. Biola opened the scoring but FSU responded with four-straight scores to take control.

Mattie Herzog and Lizzy Birch found the back of the net in the second quarter, as the Eagles stayed within reach of the Bulldogs. The margin came down to 3-2 in the quarter in favor of Fresno State, as the Eagles entered the break down, 8-4.

FSU continued to pile it on coming out of halftime. The third period saw four more goals from the host squad, while Biola added just one. Veralie Naranjo was the one to impact the scoreboard with her third goal of the game.

Maria Roldan Gonzalez and Kourtney Pyle got on the board with tallies in the fourth quarter but the team could not make a comeback push. Fresno State held its ground and finished off the 14-8 win.

Biola will return to the pool at 5:00 pm on Saturday, facing No. 17 UC Davis to cap off the weekend.
