RESULTS
GLENDORA, Calif. --- After 10-straight wins against rival Azusa Pacific, California Baptist University came up just shy of keeping the streak alive, falling in a tight 9-8 loss. The Lancers drop to 17-11 overall and 0-2 in Golden Coast Conference.
Â
Hannah Evans, Sydney Iturraran and Jessica Castellano all scored goals against the Cougars while Meghan Rowland had nine saves in the cage for CBU.
Â
The Lancers started off with a productive period as they led the Cougars 4-3 with Castellano and Evans getting in on the action. Evans notched three goals to give the visitors the one-point lead.
Â
It didn't last long, however, as APU evened the game at 4-4, but Evans scored her fourth goal of game with four minutes and 22 seconds to help the Lancers go back in front by one 5-4. As the third quarter came to an end, Iturraran scored but the Lancers found themselves trailing 7-6.
Â
APU increased its lead to three, 9-6, but the Lancers continued to work hard for a comeback as Evans netted a goal with 34 seconds left to pull within two. CBU's final goal came from Castellano as she crushed a five-meter goal in the last six seconds of the period, but time ran out before the Lancers could tie the game, falling 9-8.
Â
The Lancers return home on Friday, April 10th at 3:00 p.m. against Santa Clara.Â
