2/7/04 - The
Biola Eagles continue to improve against strong opponents as they
lost 16-4 versus the Pepperdine Waves. Last year Pepperdine won
19-4.
The Biola
attackmen provided all the scoring for the Eagles. Freshman Drew
Hughey notched the first goal for Biola in the first quarter by
driving from X around the right side and putting the ball past
the goalie. Sophomore Duncan Campbell drove from the left side,
goal-line extended and hit the back of the net. In the second
quarter, sophomore captain Josh Agadoni followed Hughey's example
and scored by coming from behind the goal and receiving a pass
from freshman Kyle Thorn. The last Eagle goal came from the good
awareness of Campbell when he picked up a loose ball on the crease
and shot it in.
The Eagles'
defense lead by defensive player of the game, Sophomore Aaron
Klett (2 GB, 5 TA, and 4 Clears), had its ups and downs. They
committed well to their pre-game strategy of shutting off the
crease and allowing the up-top shots, but Freshman goalie Peter
Wagenet had difficulty in his first start by default because sophomore
Tim Mann could not make the first half of the game. Wagenet showed
promise by giving up only 10 goals while Mann gave up 6.

Most notably,
the defense did not allowing a fast break goal out of five attempts.
Freshman midfielder Greg Ebel showed great heart and hustle by
attacking ground balls and taking vicious, flag drawing checks.
In, all the
Eagles head into the rest of the season with confidence and vow
to learn from this game in order to improve future performances.
Next week, the Eagles look forward to playing cross-town rival
UC Irvine. Glory and thanks be given to God.
