THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - The Cal Lutheran women's water polo team completed its second day of the Posada Royale Tournament Saturday, falling to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps 9-7 and Long Beach State 17-3 in the nightcap.

The Regals played neck-and-neck with the Athenas in game one, narrowing the lead to two goals on three different occasions. Trailing 8-4 in the third quarter, Jordan Card and Shannon Streeter scored a goal apiece in the final minute as CLU pulled to within two at 8-6.

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps got a goal from Alex Toohey to start off the fourth but Cal Lutheran responded a minute later with a goal from Adrienne Ingalla, making the score 9-7. The teams would exchange goals down the final three minutes but Cal Lutheran could not quite gain the momentum and take the lead as CMS held onto the ball in the final 20 seconds and secured the win.

Card and Streeter led CLU with three goals apiece while Kaylee Kastrup was the top defender, finishing with four steals. Kylee Tomasetti ended with nine saves playing all four quarters in front of the net.

Game two for Cal Lutheran saw the Regals pitted up against Division I power Long Beach State. The 49ers showed why they are rated No. 11 in the country as they raced out to a 13-1 lead at half.

The Regals fought back scoring two goals in the third quarter when Card and Ingalla each converted on five-meter shots.

However, Long Beach State would hold off any further CLU offense and closed out the victory.

Ingalla led the Regals defensively with four steals while Jane Galluzzi finished with three takeaways. Gina Merry and Tomasetti combined for seven blocks in goal for CLU.
