Victor Bunce (CMC '18) had a brilliant performance, recording two punt return touchdowns, while Trey Reynolds (CMC '17) threw for 305 yards and a touchdown.

The Stags will hit the road against Occidental next Saturday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.

The Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women’s soccer team (7-4-0, 5-1-0) have played outstanding defense as they held Whittier College scoreless in a 1-0 victory this past Saturday. Katelyn Faust (CMC '17) scored the lone goal thanks to a combined assist from Laynee Laube (CMC '17) and Sarah Tocher (CMC '20). Jacey Coniff (HMC '18) and Emily Cassell (CMC '17) put in a solid shift on the defensive end while Kelly McConnell (HMC '17) had a key save in the 65th minute to record her 6th shutout of the season.

The Stags have struggled this past week, taking a tough 2-0 loss to La Verne last Wednesday before losing again to Chapman 2-1 on Saturday. The Stags were out-shot 16-10 by La Verne, and saw only three shots go on target. On Saturday’s game against Chapman, Mehron Abdi (CMC '17) scored the opening goal in the 4th minute, but the Stags lost their lead as the Panthers scored goals in the 28th and 38th minutes to come away with the victory. The Stags will host Caltech on Monday, Oct. 3 and Redlands on Saturday, Oct. 8, both at 7 p.m.

This concludes the non-traditional season for the Athenas, who will pick back up in February 2017.
Tennis (Stags)
Senior Daniel Morkovine (CMC) became the first player in Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's tennis history to win the ITA West Regional in singles and doubles over the weekend. The Stags were the dominant team in the competition as the finals for both the singles and doubles draws were entirely comprised of CMS players. Morkovine paired with sophomore Julian Gordy (CMC) to take the doubles regional title.
Volleyball
The Athena volleyball team tacked on another two wins with a 3-0 victory at Caltech (25-19, 25-13, 25-12) and then beat Whittier 3-1 (25-7, 25-15, 19-25, 25-12) at home in Roberts Pavilion. Against Caltech, Kimmy Tuttle (CMC ’19) led with 10 kills and then Phoebe Madsen (CMC ’20) served up 14 consecutive points in the first set of the Whittier match. This week, CMS traveled to Redlands on Tuesday and won 3-1. The Athenas play Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday at 4 p.m. in the Rains Center.
