REDLANDS, Calif. — The Chapman University men's water polo program spent Halloween earning a massive road win over Redlands 11-10 Saturday morning. Senior leader
Sammy Hendrickson led the way with a new career-high and game high six assists, one goal and two earned ejections. Fellow senior
Steven Rubly made a splash in his long awaited return from injury with two goals.
Sophomore star
Rylan Takahashi did as he normally does, netting a team high three goals on just five shots to go along with a steal and an earned ejection. Despite not scoring,
Joshua Brown also contributed massively with two assists, a pair of earned ejections and two steals.
Defensively, goalkeeper
David Yacoub had 16 saves and two steals. Chapman came out of halftime firing on all cylinders, outscoring Redlands 5-1 in the quarter. They only recorded 30 shots to Redlands' 38, but the Panthers shot 36 percent for the game. Chapman also gained a massive leg up in the SCIAC standings. They sit at 4-5 in conference play, tied with Whittier for fifth overall. The Panthers have three games remaining in the regular season and a legitimate shot at making the conference tournament.
Chapman will return home to host Occidental College on Wednesday and Cal Lutheran on Saturday. Prior to Saturday's game, the Panthers will also celebrate senior day.
