LA MIRADA --- Biola men's water polo goalkeeper Maddox Levandusky earned WWPA Defensive Player of the Week honors after helping the Eagles pick up a pair of conference victories.

"Maddox did a great job staying consistent and vocal throughout the entire weekend," stated head coach Jens Cole. "The way he commanded our defense was very elite for his young age. The cool thing about Maddox is that he has been quietly working really hard, waiting for his opportunity and a stayed humble the entire time."

Levandusky went 2-0 across two appearances, recording 17 saves with a .515 save percentage in 50:50 of action. He also added one steal during the week. 
The goalkeeper opened the week with eight saves in 18:50 against Fresno Pacific as Biola earned a 15-12 road victory. Levandusky allowed seven goals before Igor Pinheiro finished the contest in the cage. 

Levandusky followed with a complete-game effort against UC Merced, playing all 32 minutes and recording nine saves in Biola's 16-9 win. He also collected a steal as the Eagles secured their second WWPA victory of the week.

The two wins kept Biola unbeaten in WWPA play. The Eagles return to action at the Harvard Invitational, opening tournament play on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 6 a.m. PT in Massachusetts.
