RIVERSIDE, Calif. ? Ryan Steiger scored 10 goals in back-to-back wins by California Baptist over Cal-Maritime (21-5) and Lindenwood (17-3) at the inaugural national invitational Friday at the Lancer Aquatic Center. Steiger scored a hat trick in the first quarter against CSUMA and then scored two goals each in the first and second quarters against Lindenwood.
The Lancers (25-12) also got seven goals from Josh Harris who scored four against Lindenwood and three against Cal-Maritime. The Lancers have won six of their last seven games and look to be the front runner to hoist the trophy at the end of the tournament.
Scott Gleason scored two goals in each game for a total of four, while David Graves, Alan Ogden, Aaron Steiger and Alex Shorts all scored two goals on the day.
Neither game was close from start to finish as CBU scored 13 goals in the first half against the Keelhaulers and 12 in the first half against the Lions. The Lancers led 13-4 at the half against CSUMA and 12-1 at the half against LU.
CBU returns to action tomorrow starting bright and early at 8:30 a.m. against Fresno Pacific and will play at 2:30 p.m. in the championship game if it defeats FPU. If the Sunbirds can pull the upset the Lancers will play for third place at 12:45 p.m.
