The University of Redlands women's water polo team downed Chapman University, 15-5, before falling to Iona College (NY), 9-14, in Claremont Convergence Tournament action Friday in Claremont.

Freshman driver Jill Stein (Palm Desert, CA) buried three goals against the Panthers, spearheading the Bulldogs' offensive attack. Sophomore center Jamie Paul (Boring, OR) and freshman center Mandy Nussbaum (Bellevue, WA) each boasted a hat trick, while freshman driver Kara Parker (Houston, TX) scored twice. Freshman driver Moana Tuipulotu (Lahaina, HI), sophomore driver Joy Corona (Lake Bluff, IL) and junior driver Tory Haynes (Valley Center, CA) each found the back of the net once to round out the Maroon and Gray's scoring against Chapman. Senior goalkeeper Whitney Schieler (Porterville, CA) made six saves protecting the Bulldog cage before handing the game off to junior goalkeeper Tiana Singley (Benicia, CA). Singley made three stops.

Schieler's 10 saves helped Redlands keep up with Iona, but the Gaels' offense ultimately prevailed in the end. Sophomore center Jaime Nippert (Gresham, OR) offered a trio of scores, while Nussbaum and Stein each added two. Tuipulotu and sophomore driver Casey Sripramong (Glendale, CA) chipped in a goal apiece.
