The win over Redlands was the first of the season for CBU, making it 30-0 against the Bulldogs in the series matchup.

GAME #1 vs UCSD:

The Tritons flexed their firepower early, outscoring the Lancers 8-3 through the first two periods. CBU would pull themselves right back into the match with a 5-1 run behind three goals from Emaly Hutton. The run would bring the score to 10-6 in favor of the Tritons with under five minutes to play.

GAME #2 vs. REDLANDS:

The Lancer offense was featured early and often in the day's final match for CBU. The Lancers scored a program-record 26 goals in the match, besting the previous record of 25 goals that they set twice last season.

Celeste Almendariz got the party started on the first possession of the match, and she was followed closely by Hutton and Kahahawai, who could score on the ensuing possessions. CBU jumped out to a quick 12-2 lead on the Bulldogs and increased the lead to 15-4 heading into the break. Before the half's end, Hutton chipped in a goal with 1:49 to play to give her the first-half hat trick.
