- Biola comes from a two goal deficit to defeat the Occidental
Tigers, 6-4. The Eagles defense kept the Tigers from scoring in
the second half and Man-down successfully killed 6 minutes of
penalties.
The
Tigers come out hard scoring three goals in the first 8 minutes
of the game but did not score again until two minute till half
time.
Meanwhile,
the Eagles scored goals from Freshman Tad Matsuoka and Junior
Daniel Schmidt to cut the Oxy lead in half.
The
Eagles came out firing in the second half, sparked by Senior Dave
Crandall who missed the first half with an injury. His goal from
Freshman Chris Williams was followed by goals from Freshman Duncan
Campbell and Josh Agadoni. With the Eagles ahead 5-4, Crandall
sealed the victory with a goal in the fourth quarter.
But
the offense could not have done it without the help of the defense.
Freshman Goalie Tim Mann had some key saves finishing the day
with 9 saves and 4 goals allowed. Senior Josh Smith and Freshmen
Jacob Walkowski, Adam Weitz and Aaron Klett held a usually very
productive Occidental attack to three goals.
