Water Polo Loses First Conference Game
Galvin '08, Perine '08 Score Four Apiece

Caroline Galvin '08 and Karley Perine '08 each scored four goals, but Whittier College lost 10-9 to conference rival California Lutheran University on March 31.  It is the first conference loss for the Poets (9-12, 2-1 SCIAC) this season.

Catherine Gouge '08 scored the only other goal for the Poets.  Sarah Wills '09 made seven saves in goal.  Whittier jumped out to an early lead and ended the first quarter up 4-1.  The Regals (10-6, 1-0 SCIAC) fought back in the second, scoring four straight to tie the score at five leading into halftime.  Whittier fell behind after giving up two goals in the third, while only netting one of their own.  The teams each scored three goals in the final stanza and the Regals escaped with the 10-9 win.
