REDLANDS, Calif. – On a cold rainy night at Farquhar Field Wednesday night, the University of Redlands Women's Lacrosse team (1-2, 0-2) dropped their Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) home opener against Chapman University 19-5.

The Bulldogs got off to a good start, holding the Panthers scoreless until the 7:45 mark of the first. Emily Webster (Ladera Ranch, CA) then converted on a free position goal with 4:16 remaining in the opening quarter.

Following three Panther connections, Jacqueline Landucci (San Mateo, CA) scored off a Cailin Walker (Portland, OR) assist to draw the Bulldogs within two, 4-2, at the 12:48 mark of the second.

Emma Beaver (Bend, OR) then scored at the 5:21 mark and then setup Webster's second goal with 1:27 left in the half as the Bulldogs kept themselves alive, trailing by only four goals, 8-4.

Despite the good momentum in the first half, the Bulldogs were held scoreless in the third quarter and did not find the back of the net until Webster netted herself a hat trick with only :45 seconds left in the game as they fell 19-5.

Webster finished with a team-high three goals. Jenna Bradford (Anaheim, CA), Beaver, and Walker all picked up an assist. Bradford, Walker, Natalie Schumann (Murrieta, CA), and Landucci all had three ground balls.
