LA VERNE, Calif. – After starting the season against two of the top three ranked teams in the NCAA, California Baptist University was anxious to gets new Coach Kevin Rosa his first wins with the program.

From here, CBU prepares for two home games next week against eighth-ranked UC Irvine and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, which is receiving votes in the NCAA top-20, on Wednesday and Friday, respectively. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m. starts.

David Ring got on the board in each game, ending with three goals on the day, for the Lancers. Clint Walling provided an all-around performance in the pool, with seven steals, three assists and two goals.
The Lancers came out and took a 6-2 lead on La Verne by the end of the first quarter. The Leopards pulled within three, 8-5, at halftime but CBU pulled away with a 5-1 run in the third to take a 12-6 advantage.
Teraoka and Forte led the way in the game, with three goals and multiple assists. Angelo, Ring and Spencer Shore each scored twice, while Walling forced four turnovers, scored and assisted for CBU. Ryan Penney drew two ejections and added a goal and assist in the contest.
