Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ORANGE, Calif. — Chapman (11-11, 7-4 SCIAC) women's water polo played a doubleheader of games Saturday against conference foe Cal Lutheran and Division II neighboring school Concordia Irvine. The Panthers split the two games, defeating Concordia 10-8 and narrowly falling the Cal Lutheran 9-8. 

Against Concordia, Chapman avenged a narrow loss to Concordia by just one point on Mar. 1. Senior attacker Alyssa Fricker led the way with four goals, three assists, two steals and four earned ejections. Sophomore Kendall Pappan dominated in her own right with seven earned ejections to go along with two goals. Freshman Annie Nadolski also poured on back-to-back goals. 

Goalkeeper Zoey Francis earned 12 blocks, some of which the junior transfer leaped two-to-three feet out of the water for. Riley Eaves and Nina Bastick also contributed with one goal each.

Against Cal Lutheran, Francis dominated with 11 saves, while Meg Peters and Aveen Cunningham notched new season highs with two goals each. Peters, Pappan, Nadolski, Bastick and Fricker all netted one goal.
