Athletics Week In Review (Extended Version - Word)
=========== Fall – Women=============
Women’s Soccer
The Athena soccer team went 2-0 last week, easily beating Whittier
5-0 and then edging La Verne 1-0 in overtime. Against Whittier,
Darrah Shields (CMC ’16) scored twice. She
was joined by Ashley Barnhill (CMC ’15),
Katelyn Faust (CMC ’17) and Sara
Tweedy (HMC ’15), each with a goal in the
game. In the La Verne match, the 0-0 tie was finally broken
in the 100th minute of play when Samantha
Kunz (CMC ’15) drilled a free kick into the
upper right corner for the game winner. CMS (11-4-1, 8-2 SCIAC)
next plays at Occidental (7-4-1, 5-4-1 SCIAC) on Oct. 22 and hosts
Redlands (6-5-2, 4-4-2 SCIAC) at 11 a.m. on Oct. 25.
The Athena volleyball was 2-1 last week with three set victories over Caltech (25-11, 25-7, 25-6) and Whittier (25-15, 25-18, 25-14) and then a tough loss to La Verne (17-25, 16-25, 25-22, 25-23, 15-13). In the two matches she played in, Audrey Breitwieser (CMC ’16) had 24 kills and a .353 kill percentage. Megan Coleman (CMC ’15) had 51 digs over the same two matches, which brings her season average to 5.8 digs per set and should place her into the top 25 in the nation for that statistic. The Athenas (18-5, 9-2 SCIAC) play No. 2-ranked Cal Lutheran (21-1, 10-2 SCIAC) at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21 at the Linde Activities Center and then travel across the street to Pomona-Pitzer (14-8, 6-4 SCIAC) on Oct. 24 before returning home again to match up with Occidental (5-16, 3-8 SCIAC) at 6 p.m. Oct. 25.

Sara Mostatabi (CMC ’15) won the women’s race, pulling away over the last mile to win by five seconds in 21:44.1. The depth of the Athenas was evident as CMS had four of the top 10, nine of the top 17 and 15 of the top 30 overall. Caroline Willian (CMC ’17) finished sixth overall (38th last year), Carmen Mejia (SCR ’17) was 10th and Anna Shepard (CMC ’17) was 12th.

====================== Fall – Men========================
Football
The Stag football team faced a mighty Redlands team on Saturday
night and lost 31-7. The Stags were shutout at halftime but
ultimately scored on a blocked punt that was run in for a touchdown
during the fourth quarter. Despite the Stags leading in time of
possession and total offensive plays, CMS was unable to recover
from four turnovers. Redlands had a few long plays, including a
punt return for a touchdown that put the Bulldogs on top.
Trey Reynolds (CMC ’17) threw for 114 yards
in 16 completions. Max Winsberg (CMC ’15)
had an interception and Lucas Owan (CMC ’17)
recovered a punt blocked by Nick Nasse (CMC
’15). Owan ran it back 11 yards for CMS’ only touchdown
of the night. The Stags (2-3, 1-2 SCIAC) are on the road for
another weekend to face Occidental (3-2, 2-1 SCIAC) Oct. 25.
The Stag soccer team was 1-1 last week after a heart-breaking 4-3 loss to Cal Lutheran and a 2-0 triumph over Pomona-Pitzer. Against Cal Lu, Taylor Lemmon (CMC ’16), Michael Crowley (CMC ’17), and Mehron Abdi (CMC ’17) each scored. Crowley leads the team with five goals on the season. In the Sixth Street Rivalry rematch, Abdi scored on a loose ball in the box in the first five minutes of the game and then Jake Bishop (CMC ’15) added an insurance goal in the second half for the decisive victory. Grant Gilchrist (CMC ’18) recorded four saves in the Pomona-Pitzer match. The Stags (7-5-1, 6-5-1 SCIAC) play at Redlands (8-8, 7-5 SCIAC) on Monday, Oct. 20 and then host Occidental (11-4, 8-4 SCIAC) at 7 p.m. Oct. 25.

Men’s Water Polo
The Stag water polo team played just one game last week, beating La Verne 12-4. While this was the second time the Stags and Leopards faced off, it was the first that counted toward the conference rankings. Four Stags had multi-goal games: Tanner Cullen (CMC ’16) led with four, and Noah Deer (CMC ’18), Adam Hilborn (CMC ’16) and Alex Waggoner (CMC ’17) each added two.
