The University of Redlands women's water polo team defeated Fresno Pacific University, 8-7, before blasting Macalester College (MN), 21-9, at the CBU Lancer Invite on Friday afternoon at the Thompson Aquatic Center.

Sophomore center Jaime Nippert (Gresham, OR) scored four goals against the Sunbirds as Redlands edged Fresno Pacific in its first of four CBU Lancer Invite games. Sophomore center Jamie Paul (Boring, OR) rattled the back of the cage twice, while freshman drivers Georgia Tunioli (Riverside, CT) and Jill Stein (Palm Desert, CA) provided one goal apiece. Guarding the Bulldog net, senior goalkeeper Whitney Schieler (Porterville, CA) stopped five shots.

Freshman drivers Kara Parker (Houston, TX) and Lindsey Zehner (Portland, OR) and freshman center Mandy Nussbaum (Bellevue, WA) rounded out the Bulldog goal-scorers. Schieler split time in between the pipes with junior goalkeeper Tiana Singley (Benicia, CA) and freshman goalkeeper Cecile Gernez (Mountain View, CA). The Bulldog netminding trio combined to make five saves.
