MEN’S FOOTBALL             Overall:  2-0   SCIAC: N/A

 

9-16-00           win       PP d. Colorado College, 55-36

 

           The Pomona-Pitzer men’s football team traveled to Colorado Springs this past weekend and came home a winner over the Tigers from Colorado College.  Once again, the Sagehens held their opponent to under 100 yards rushing while eating up 226 yards on the ground themselves. 

            Brian Ferrette had a busy afternoon throwing the football, as he completed 22 of 35 passes for 251 yards and 3 touchdowns.  Ferrette also rushed the ball 5 times for 29 yards and a score.  For the second week in a row, 9 different receivers for the Sagehens got into the action.  Leading the charge for the Hens was sophomore tight end Benjamin LaCoss, who hauled in 7 catches on the day for a total of 58 yards.  Senior Matthew LaCoss also had a big day receiving the football, as he grabbed 4 catches for 51 yards, and 2 touchdowns.  Jeremy Lim also caught 4 balls for the Sagehens, for a 44 yard total on the day.  James Nachtwey and Ryan Hernandez were each recipients of 2 passes on the afternoon, with Hernandez catching one of those ball for a touchdown. 

            Having a big day on the ground was Jeremy Lim, who ran the ball a total of 26 times, netting 140 yards and 1 touchdown on the day.  Ryan Hattersley also got the call 9 times for the Hens, and was able to net 58 yards and 1 touchdown as well.  Jonathan Samples was also able to punch one into the end zone with one of his 5 carries. 

            Pomona-Pitzer got off to a big lead to start the contest, scoring 21 points in the first quarter alone.  That lead would temporarily dwindle, as the Tigers closed to within 21-14 with just over 13 minutes to play in the first half.  The Hens would then get back on track, however, with the touchdown run by Hattersley, and a 20 yard interception for a touchdown by Daniel Wire.  The fourth quarter provided a see-saw of action as the Sagehens would score first to make it a 42-14 ballgame.  Colorado College would then score 3 unanswered touchdowns to close within 6 points with 4 minutes to go.  The Hens were up to the challenge, however, as they would end the game scoring twice more within the final 2 minutes of play, the last of which was the touchdown run by Jonathan Samples.

            This weekend, Pomona-Pitzer will play host to Lewis & Clark College.

            The Pomona-Pitzer Volleyball team served as co-host for the Pacific Coast Tournament, and came away with a win and 2 losses on the weekend.  On the first day of competition, the Hens took on the squad from Franklin & Marshall.  Despite the team loss, a few Sagehens had some standout individual performances.  Leading the offensive charge for the Hens in that contest were Samantha Hauff and Alison Rindlaub, who each put down 16 kills.  Also turning in solid performance was Colleen Chrisco, who had 13 kills to go along with her 14 digs.  Setter Erika Gamst served up 44 assists on the afternoon to go with her 12 digs.

            The following morning saw the Hens come away with an impressive victory over Schreiner College, 3-1.  Samantha Hauff, who hit .440 for the tournament, again led the way for the Hens with team high 15 kills.  Renee Faulkner also got into the action with 13 kills on the match.  Elizabeth Katzer, Susan Caplow, Elena Shih, and Erika Gamst all came up with double digit digs on the contest.  Gamst also contributed 29 assists.

            In the Sagehens third contest of the tournament, Colleen Chrisco was the leading individual performer with 9 kills and 6 digs on the afternoon.  Erika Gamst had 20 assists to go along with her 6 digs.

            The Hens will next play host to Whittier on the 19th of September.       

 

WOMEN’S SOCCER                       Overall:  3-2-1            SCIAC: 1-1

 

            9/13/00            win       PP d. CMS, 1-0

            9/16/00            win       Redlands d. PP, 5-2    

 

            The Sagehens began SCIAC play this past week and split two games with CMS and Redlands.  Against CMS, the only goal was scored in the first half of action.  The goal was netted by Oriana Campanelli and assisted by Jo Kirsch.  The goal by Campanelli came on her only shot of the afternoon.  The Hens were able to get off 12 shots during the contest, while holding CMS to just 8.  Ashley Thompson came up with 7 saves on the day for the Sagehens.

            The Hens’ second game of last week came against a tough Redlands team.  Pomona-Pitzer would go into halftime only down one goal at 3-2, but Redlands would come out in the second frame and net two more to put the contest out of reach, despite being outshot by the Sagehens, 12-11.  Scoring the goals for the Hens were Torrey Shelton and Rebecca Hummel.  Ashley Thompson would again coral 7 saves on the day.

            The Sagehens will next play host to Cal Lutheran on Wednesday the 20th.      

             

MEN’S SOCCER                  Overall:  2-3   SCIAC: 1-0

 

            9/13/00            loss      Chapman d. PP, 3-1    

            9/16/00            win       PP d. Redlands, 2-1

 

            The Sagehen men competed twice this past week, the second of which was a successful SCIAC opener.  In the loss to Chapman, the Hens were able to outshoot the Panthers 11-5, but only one of those shots would find the back of the net.  Ian Preikschat was able to get the Hens on the board in the 77th minute on a penalty kick, but it proved to be too little, too late, as Chapman would leave with a 3-1 victory.  Nick Zabriskie came up with 2 saves on the afternoon.

            Against the squad from Redlands, the Hens would experience more success.  A hard fought contest ended with the Hens starting their conference play with a victory, and handing Redlands its first defeat of the season.  Netza Bravo and Ian Preikschat provided the offense for the Hens, who were able to fire off 13 shots on the day.  Assisting on both goals for the Sagehens was Sean Daugherty.  Nick Zabriskie and Jay Schneider split time in net for the Hens.  Zabriskie made 3 saves for the Hens, while Schneider made 1.

            The men’s soccer team will next travel to Cal Lutheran on the 20th.

 

MEN’S WATER POLO                    Overall:  2-6   SCIAC: 0-0

 

            9/16/00            win       PP d. Chapman, 0-9

            9/16/00            loss      UC Santa Cruz d. PP, 11-5

            9/17/00            loss      MIT d. PP, 10-7

            9/17/00            win       PP d. Chaminade, 15-13 (double OT)

 

            The Sagehens were able to manage two important WWPA wins over the weekend over Chapman and Chaminade, but lost two games that the team needed to win in order to move up in the rankings.  Ryan Williams and Ben Speicher led the team in scoring at the Inland Empire Classic.  Marc Cavagnolo was the assist leader and his aggressive playmaking and driving skills led to a team record in man up situations.  Head Coach Gary Troyer remarked, “Our transition and half court offense is beginning to take shape but we are very far behind in the development of our counter attack defense and 6 on 5 play.  We have a week without a big game commitment and we should be able to improve those areas before the Air Force game.”

            The Hens will next compete at the Cal Baptist Tournament this coming weekend.
