Whittier Shut Out in Season Opener
Poets Outshot
19-4 in loss
Whittier College was shut out 6-0 by undefeated Chapman University in a
non-conference game at Donald E. Graham Soccer Field on September 6.
Cody Sawa '10 and Michael Read '10, both seeing their
first collegiate action, combined to make five saves in goal for the
Poets (0-1). Chapman scored three goals in each half to improve their
record to 3-0. |

The Panthers started the scoring in the
17th minute with a one-time volley off a cross that left Sawa with no
chance to make the save. Ten minutes later, Chapman struck again,
this time with a through-ball that left Sawa one-on-one with a Chapman
forward. The Panthers added one more before the break, leaving
them with a 3-0 lead.
Half number two brought much of the same misfortune for the Poets, as
Chapman scored with a header on a free kick in the 51st minute. A
defensive miscue by Whittier gave their opponents an easy goal in the
59th minute. Chapman put on the finishing touches with a penalty
kick goal in the 61st minute to make the score 6-0.
The Poets look to rebound as they take on La Sierra University on the
road, September 8th. |
