Los Angeles, CA — In an exciting, last game of the Tigers six-game week, they faced the Biola Eagles. Koko Butcher (Honolulu, HI) started off the game strong with a goal, setting the tone for the game. Then, Emily Kapins (Honolulu, HI) scored from the center after working hard to get position. The Tigers worked all around defensively and Abigail Lavold (Tacoma, WA) drew three exclusions against the Eagles. Marisa Lipari (Sunnyvale, CA) fires a shot to the back of the goal at the end of the second quarter. After regrouping at half-time, the Tigers came up with a game plan. Olivia Montgomery (Eugene, OR) found the back of the net right away into the third quarter. After holding off the Eagles from scoring during the fourth quarter, Koko Butcher scores again. Then, Kayla Lin (Palo Alto, CA) shoots and scores to end the game off on a strong note. Although the Tigers battled hard, they fell to the Eagles 14-6. 

Rachel Spadt, Ava LoBue, and Lizzy Birch led the Eagles with three goals each.
