CLAREMONT, Calif. – The Whittier College women's water polo team held a 6-5 halftime lead over Cal Lutheran in the first round of the 2010 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference on Friday afternoon but was held to just two second half scores as the Regals advanced to the semifinals with a 12-8 win at Pomona-Pitzer.

Whittier (13-17) was led offensively by the duo of Katrina Thoreson and Melissa Reynoso who each scored a team-high two goals. Veronica Becerra added three assists in the loss.

Cal Lutheran led 3-2 at the end of the first quarter but the Poets went on a 4-2 run in the second stanza to hold the one-goal advantage at the intermission. CLU scored four goals after the break and Whittier added its only two goals of the second half in the third quarter.

The Regals added three more goals in the final frame en route to the four-goal win.

Anahisa Aguirre made seven saves between the pipes for the Poets while Sara Wolff and Arianna Weisenburger each had three steals.

Wolff, Sarah Peel, Xenia Castillo and Weisenburger all had goals for the purple and gold. Castillo and Thoreson each added three drawn ejections to their stat lines.
