LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Four goals from Kyle Christian highlighted a valiant effort from 17th-ranked California Baptist University in a 20-9 road loss against second-ranked UCLA at the Spieker Aquatics Center on Friday.
Christian totaled six points in all, with two assists, and three steals for one of the best all-around performances from a Lancer this season. CBU dropped 16-9 on the year, while the Bruins improved to 14-1.
CBU gets six days off from competition before it takes on the home stretch of the Western Water Polo Association season, with four more conference games left in its seven-game slate. The Lancers first travel to Santa Clara on Thursday for a 3 p.m. game and will then play in the Santa Clara Rodeo Oct. 20-21, facing Brown, San Jose State and Bucknell.
Senior Day is the week after that, as the Lancers will host Loyola Marymount for a crucial WWPA contest on Thursday, Oct. 26th at 7 p.m.
Dominick Nevarez scored two goals, assisted on another and added two steals in the game. Tanner Shore notched a goal, assist and steal in the loss for the Lancers, who received nine saves and three steals in three quarters from goalie Gabe Thorne.
UCLA raced out to a 10-2 lead early in the second quarter, with Christian scoring the first two CBU goals of the game. Shore scored the third 1:58 to play in the second quarter. The Lancers blanked the Bruins over a six minute, 14 second span, and Christian's third goal of the game made it an 11-4 deficit at halftime.
Down 15-4, the Lancers scored three-straight goals, thanks to Christian, Nevarez and Jonny Lotero, to make it 15-7 with 1:15 left in the third. Kyle Rasmussen and Nevarez scored CBU's final two goals of the contest.
