Eagles Stay Close Early

Biola trades goals with No. 13 UC Santa Barbara before the Gauchos pull away in the third

MALIBU, Calif. --- Biola fell to No. 13 UC Santa Barbara 17-9 in the second game of the Pepperdine Round Robin on Thursday at Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool.

The Eagles traded goals with the Gauchos early, with Kevin Slack, Isaac Demski and Caden Digby each finding the back of the cage in the first period to keep Biola within two, 5-3, after one.

UC Santa Barbara's offense began to pull away in the second quarter, extending its advantage to 8-5 at halftime. Slack added his second goal of the afternoon with a power-play score, while Jayden Rose also found the back of the cage for the Eagles.

The Gauchos' third quarter proved to be the difference in the match, as UCSB outscored Biola 7-1 to take a commanding 15-6 lead into the final period. Noah Ryznar supplied Biola's lone goal of the third quarter.

Biola responded in the fourth, outscoring UC Santa Barbara 3-2. Kyle Seifen opened the scoring for the Eagles in the period before Ryder Imbriani and Aiden Ortiz each added a goal, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

Igor Pinheiro started in goal for the Eagles and made eight saves.

Slack led Biola with two goals, while seven different Eagles found the back of the cage. Biola went 4-for-11 on power-play opportunities and was outshot 35-21 by the Gauchos.

The Eagles fell to 2-3 on the season with the loss.

Biola will return to action in the Inland Empire Classic on Sept. 5 against Occidental at 11 a.m.
