KNIGHT WATCH
Sophomore midfielder Edvard Edvarsson scored his first goal of the season in ART U's most recent match against Concordia. Edvarsson was awarded a penalty kick in the 79th minute and buried it in the bottom left corner. Now eight matches into the season, he has still played every minute of every match for a total of 725 minutes. Junior forward Adria Cekala continues to lead the Urban Knights offense with three points on one goal and an assist. Cekala assisted sophomore midfielder Breki Einarsson's first career goal, which came against Notre Dame de Namur on Sept. 26. Einarsson received a well executed pass from Cekala, who flew past Argonaut defenders on ART U's quick counterattack to set up the goal. Einarsson put a solid strike on the ball with his left foot and drove it to the bottom right corner. 

EAGLES OF BIOLA
Fifth place Biola has an overall record of 3-4-2 and a conference record of 1-0-1. The Eagles first conference match was against Holy Names, who they tied 2-2 after a pair of overtime periods. In their most recent match, Biola took down Dominican 1-0 for their first PacWest conference win. In non-conference play, the Eagles played two PacWest schools, Concordia and Point Loma. BU beat Concordia 3-2 but fell to PLNU 1-0. Other notable non-conference matches include a 2-0 win against CSU San Marcos and a 3-2 double-overtime loss against No. 7 CSU Los Angeles. Leo Thompson is the Eagles leading scorer with seven points on three goals and an assist. Hunter Finnegan is second, with six points on two goals and two assists. In three matchups, the Eagles are undefeated against the Urban Knights and won their most recent meeting 2-0.   

SEA LIONS OF POINT LOMA
Point Loma has notched one of each result in PacWest play and holds a conference record of 1-1-1. Their first PacWest match they tied Holy Names 0-0. Two days later the Sea Lions defeated Dominican 4-1 and most recently they dropped a 2-0 decision to Azusa Pacific. PLNU was 4-3 in non-conference, with wins over Biola, CSU Dominguez Hills, UC San Diego, and CSU San Marcos. The Sea Lions offense is led by David Achaerandio, who has a team high 12 points on five goals and two assists. PLNU has been successful against ART U historically, with a 6-0-1 all-time record.

ART U BATTLES EARLY, SCORES LATE, BUT FALLS TO CONCORDIA
Sophomore midfielder Edvard Edvarsson scored his first goal of the season on Thursday, but Academy of Art dropped a 4-1 decision to Concordia at Paul Goode Field.

LOOKING AHEAD
After the pair of away games, the Urban Knights will return to the Bay for a four-match home stretch starting with Holy Names on Oct. 22 and concluding with Fresno Pacific on senior day, Nov. 2.
