ORANGE, Calif. - This one was over before it had even begun.
Freshman 2-meter Arielle Worthington scored the
Panthers' first two goals within a minute and a half of the opening
whistle and the Chapman University women's water polo team cruised
to a 24-1 victory over visiting Caltech at the Allred Aquatics
Center on Sunday morning.
In fact, Chapman took out the frustrations of an eight-game
losing streak following the Beavers' only goal with 2:46 remaining
in the first quarter. The Panthers shutout Caltech throughout the
rest of the game and scored the final 18 goals of the game,
unanswered.
The Panthers defense was impenetrable, with sophomore goalie
Celia Huling making 16 saves. Chapman's field
defenders also helped out with 21 steals in the game.
Offensively, Chapman (7-16) spread the wealth with seven
different players scoring at least three goals each. Worthington
led all players with four goals and four assists. Sophomore driver
Hannah Thomas had three goals and added three
assists.
