EAGLES FALL TO TOP-RANKED TRITONS

 

Biola Men’s Water Polo suffers 25-4 loss to No.8 UCSD

LA MIRADA, Calif --- The Biola men's water polo team achieved success in their first win against Westcliff on Wednesday before suffering a 25-4 loss to No. 8 UC San Diego on Thursday. 

Although Biola suffered the loss, Luke

Franklin and  Kenny Wulf each had two goals for the Eagles. Offensively, Nolan Rapp and Jonas Huckabay connected with teammates to collect two and one assists respectively. 

Franklin continues to be a bright spot for the program as the freshman was perfect from the field finding the back of the cage on both of his shot attempts. Wulf was nearly perfect as he converted two of three shot attempts, combining to score Biola's four goals against the Tritons. 

In the cage for UCSD, the duo of Bennet Kienast and Alexander Nemeth combined to stop 16 of 20 shot attempts, holding the Eagles to only four goals on the day.  

Mitchell Carpenter, Biola's goalkeeper, collected seven saves to up his season total to 64 saves as he inches closer to the 100 save mark. Although Carpenter's double digit save-streak ended today, the freshman continues to compete against some of the top-ranked teams in the nation. 

Biola heads up north to take on Santa Clara and Fresno Pacific starting September 24.  For game times and live stream information check athletics.biola.edu
