LA VERNE, Calif. - On the road at Las Flores Park this morning, the Cal Lutheran women's water polo team dropped a low scoring 5-4 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) contest to La Verne.

The Leopards took a 2-1 lead after the first quarter and had doubled the advantage to 4-2 at halftime. Unable to find the back of the net in the third, CLU fell into a deeper hole when LV added a goal. The Regals staged a comeback in the final frame, scoring a pair of unanswered goals, though the effort fell just short.

In the lowest scoring game of the spring to date, Cal Lutheran was just 4-for-20 as a team with the goals coming from four different players as Jordan Card, Amanda Jones, Tatiana McCuaig and Logan Young were all responsible for one. Each scoring play was aided by an assist with Card, Jones, Young and Kaylee Kastrup each dishing out one. As a unit, the Regals earned 10 drawn ejections, led by Card with three.

Defensively, the lone field block of the game came by way of Card while Kastrup paced the entire defense with five steals. Young tallied three takeaways and Gina Merry and Lauren Shackelford finished with a pair apiece. Merry also notched six saves as the goalkeeper.

Cal Lutheran (5-15, 1-2 SCIAC) returns to the Samuelson Aquatics Center on Wednesday, April 1 to face off with Caltech at 4:00 p.m.
