Undefeated with games remaining against winless Cal Tech and Chapman, the Sage Hens (18-10, 12-0 SCIAC) are odds-on favorites to capture the top seed in the SCIAC Women&#8217;s Water Polo Championships, to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesciac.org\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/2016-17\/files\/championships17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">held<\/a> April 27-29, and grab yet another SCIAC title, the program\u2019s sixth overall.<\/p>\n<p>But not if upstart <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clusports.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cal Lutheran<\/a> has anything to say about it.<\/p>\n<p>The Regals\u2019 (19-7, 11-1 SCIAC) single loss in conference play came courtesy a 9-4 of the Sage Hens a month ago. <strong>Jocelyn Castro<\/strong>\u2014as she has all season for Pomona-Pitzer\u2014led the way with two goals. The senior attacker has 58 scores on the season, and has combined with senior <strong>Morgan McKraken<\/strong> (44) and junior <strong>Kahea Kahaulelio<\/strong> (41) to form a potent 1-2-3 attack (conference-leading 329 goals scored) for Head Coach <strong>Alex Rodriguez\u2019s<\/strong> team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Craig Rond\u2019s<\/strong> Cal Lutheran squad has virtually no one in the top 10 in any SCIAC categories; in fact, only junior goalie <strong>Bailey Meyers<\/strong> is represented. But, with 180, she\u2019s stopped the most shots\u2014and it&#8217;s no surprise that she backstops the conference\u2019s stingiest defense. An 8-0 blanking of Whittier this past weekend continues a season-long trend for a Regals\u2019 team that only once this season has given up double-digits in goals\u201410 against Brown in a loss last month\u2014and 130 goals on the season, an impressive 5 goals against average in 26 games. With two games remaining, Cal Lutheran boasts an even better 4 per game in 12 matches against SCIAC opponents.<\/p>\n<p>But spoilers to a Sage Hens vs. Regals title tilt abound. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmsathletics.org\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claremont-Mudd-Scripps<\/a> (17-9, 10-3 SCIAC) play their final match of the regular season next Saturday against Cal Lutheran. A win could change the seeding at the top of the SCIAC standings giving the Athenas boundless confidence going into their conference tournament. Led by senior\u00a0<strong>Jessica Gaffney\u2019s<\/strong> 51 goals, CMS dropped a match earlier this season to Cal Lutheran by an 8-4 score. In that match, the Regals limited Gaffney to a single goal.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the championship mix are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chapmanathletics.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chapman Panthers<\/a> (10-15, 6-6). Led by senior\u00a0<strong>Ellie Peterson\u2019s<\/strong> 42 goals\u2014last weeks SCIAC Women&#8217;s Water Polo Player of the Week\u2014and her classmate\u00a0<strong>Andi Sandoval\u2019s<\/strong> 33 assists, this weekend Head Coach <strong>Eric Ploessel\u2019s<\/strong> squad has a chance to knock Pomona-Pitzer from its undefeated perch.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for redemption at season\u2019s end are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wcpoets.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whittier Poets<\/a>, who were selected second in the 2018 SCIAC pre-season poll but have fallen to 6-7 in regular season play, part of a disappointing 8-16 record. The 8-0 drubbing this weekend by Cal Lutheran underscores the challenge faced by Head Coach <strong>Justin Pudwell\u2019s<\/strong> players. Junior\u00a0<strong>Anastacia Gonzalez<\/strong> has chipped in with 36 goals.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the pack\u2014including La Verne, Redlands, Occidental and Caltech\u2014have chased the leaders all season and are unlikely to catch up any time soon. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leopardathletics.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">La Verne<\/a> (8-15, 5-8 SCIAC) boasts fantastic freshman Jassmine Kezman, whose 67 goals leads all SCIAC players. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goredlands.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Redlands<\/a> (7-21, 5-8 SCIAC) has sophomore <strong>Olivia Allen<\/strong>, among others, to build upon. <a href=\"http:\/\/oxyathletics.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Occidental<\/a> (3-19, 2-11 SCIAC) remains in rebuilding mode with another two years of <strong>Monica Chernoff<\/strong> (32 goals).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gocaltech.com\/sports\/wwaterpolo\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalTech<\/a> (0-21, 0-13 SCIAC) has two chances remaining for a win in 2018; a regular season meeting this Saturday with the Sage Hens and a conference play-in match a week later against Occidental. This season the Tigers have already tagged the Beavers with 18-2 and 12-7 losses. It appears likely that CalTech will have to wait until next year to break a losing streak that\u2014including 11 losses to close out 2017\u2014currently stands at 32.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Randazzo, Swimming World Contributor With a week left in the regular season, the Pomona-Pitzer women\u2019s water polo team appears to be on track for a second-straight Southern California<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4875,"featured_media":306326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[2653,67268,67266,67263,66127,66139,66126,67265,66129,67264,67260,67267,67262,66136,60192,67269,67261,66138,49163,61201,66132,66125],"class_list":["post-306324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-water-polo","tag-alex-rodriguez","tag-anastacia-gonzalez","tag-andi-sandoval","tag-bailey-meyers","tag-cal-lutheran-water-polo","tag-caltech-water-polo","tag-craig-rond","tag-ellie-peterson","tag-eric-ploessel","tag-jessica-gaffney","tag-jocelyn-castro","tag-justin-pudwell","tag-kahea-kahaulelio","tag-la-verne-water-polo","tag-michael-randazzo","tag-monica-chernoff","tag-morgan-mckraken","tag-occidental-water-polo","tag-olivia-allen","tag-pomona-pitzer-womens-water-polo","tag-redlands-water-polo","tag-whittier-water-polo"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>SCIAC Women\u2019s Water Polo Report: Pomona-Pitzer &amp;
