Bulldog Women’s Water Polo Falters in Opening Tournament

The University of Redlands women’s water polo team hosted the Redlands Mini-Tournament on Sunday, gaining experience against two challenging opponents. The Bulldogs came up short in both games, falling to Division II Cal State San Bernardino, 4-12, and NAIA competitor Cal Baptist University, 4-9.

In their opening game, the women took on the Coyotes of CSUSB but struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals in the loss. The Bulldogs gained two scores from junior 2m-offenisve player Sam Greenawalt (Riverside, CA) to go along with single goals from senior driver Alana Martinez (Riverside, CA) and junior driver Claire Quinn (Fresno, CA). Junior Lauren Ellsworth (Napa, CA) and sophomore Whitney Schieler (Porterville, CA) split time in the cage, making four and two stops, respectively.

The Bulldogs also faced Cal Baptist in their opening weekend of action. Once again, Greenawalt led the team with two goals, while junior 2m-defender Jennifer Caron (San Dimas, CA) and senior 2m-defender Molly Todd (Sacramento, CA) each supplied one. Ellsworth provided six saves between the pipes.

Redlands women’s water polo (0-2) looks forward to competing in the Triton Invitational at UC San Diego on Saturday and Sunday, February 9-10.
