After defeating the University of La Verne on Saturday morning, the University of Redlands men's water polo team headed to Golden West Community College to face the Falcons of the Air Force Academy but lost in a come-back effort by a score of 8-10.

After a slow start that resulted in a four-goal deficit, the Maroon and Gray made a late push against the Falcons, recording seven of their eight goals in the second half. But it was not enough to overtake the Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) foe as Redlands suffered the two-goal loss.

Senior driver Drew Fisher (Highland, CA) notched two netters in the match to lead the team. Junior center Blake vanHartesvelt (Mercer Island, WA), senior driver Bo Sidhu (Indio, CA), junior center-defender Andrew Smith-Jones (Annapolis, MD), junior driver Jeff Parsons (Newark, CA), along with sophomore drivers Zac Chierici (Millbrae, CA) and Patrick Roth (Cottonwood Heights, UT) each registered a goal for the Bulldogs.

Patrolling the Redlands cage, sophomore Jessie Gunter (Perris, CA) tallied eight saves in the process.

The Bulldogs travel to Cal Lutheran University on Wednesday for a SCIAC dual match against the Kingsmen at 4 p.m.
