The University of Redlands women's water polo team lost to Azusa Pacific University, 12-13, before downing George Washington University (DC), 10-9, on the second and final day of the CBU Lancer Invite Saturday at the Thompson Aquatic Center.

Sophomore center Jaime Nippert (Gresham, OR) found the back of the net on four occasions against the Cougars, but the Azusa Pacific offense turned to four different multi-goal contributors to defeat the Bulldogs in the first game of the afternoon. Sophomore center Jamie Paul (Boring, OR) and sophomore driver Joy Corona (Lake Bluff, IL) each chipped in a pair of goals, while freshman drivers Moana Tuipulotu (Lahaina, HI) and Georgia Tunioli (Riverside, CT), junior driver Chandler Weeks (Palm Desert, CA) and freshman center Mandy Nussbaum (Bellevue, WA) all scored once. Senior goalkeeper Whitney Schieler (Porterville, CA) stopped eight Cougar shots, but it was Azusa Pacific's Shannon Oliphant who was the difference in the contest. Oliphant made a game-high 11 saves protecting the Cougar net.

Nippert poured in another four goals against George Washington, while Corona supplemented Nippert's offensive output with three scores of her own. Tuipulotu, sophomore center Jamie Paul (Boring, OR) and Tunioli accounted for the Maroon and Gray's other three goals. Schieler kept the Bulldogs alive against the Colonials, stopping a game-high nine shots guarding the Redlands cage.
