HOME OF BULLDOG WOMEN'S WATER POLO - Nine SCIAC Titles, Eight Collegiate III Championships

The University of Redlands women’s water polo team lost in each of its two games on Sunday in Redlands. The Bulldogs fell to Pomona-Pitzer Colleges, 7-12, in the morning before suffering a 5-8 defeat at the hands of Cal State San Bernardino in the afternoon.

Two Sagehens notched three goals apiece as the Bulldogs could not quell a potent Pomona-Pitzer offense. Sophomore driver Jordan McKee (Apple Valley, CA) found the back of the net twice while freshman driver Moana Tuipulotu (Lahaina, HI), freshman driver Lindsey Zehner (Portland, OR), freshman center Mandy Nussbaum (Bellevue, WA), freshman center Rebecca Moore (San Diego, CA) and sophomore driver Casey Sripramong (Glendale, CA) notched one score each. Senior goalkeeper Whitney Schieler (Porterville, CA) and junior goalkeeper Tiana Singley (Benicia, CA) split time in net, combining for three saves.

The Maroon and Gray staged a comeback in the waning minutes of the afternoon tilt against the Coyotes, but Cal State San Bernardino’s offensive surge to start the second half proved insurmountable. Sophomore center Jaime Nippert (Gresham, OR) supplied a team-high two goals while freshman driver Georgia Tunioli (Riverside, CT), Zehner and Moore each rattled the back of the cage once. Schieler stopped a game-high seven shots protecting the Bulldog net.

Redlands (0-2) travels to UC San Diego this weekend for the Triton Invitational. The event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 6, and Sunday, Feb. 7. The Bulldogs contest San Diego State University in the West Pool at 11:10 a.m. on Saturday morning. Based on that result, they will play again on Saturday at either 4:30 p.m. or 5:50 p.m. in the West Pool. Sunday’s opponents and game times are to be announced.
