The 18th-ranked University of Redlands women's soccer team suffered a difficult 0-1 overtime loss to No. 14 Cal Lutheran University in Saturday's Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) competition in Thousand Oaks.

Senior midfielder Kaitlin Walters (Moorpark, CA) collected the lone score of the contest in the 92nd minute of play, resulting in the Bulldogs' second conference loss of the season.

Cal Lutheran controlled possession on its offensive third for the majority of the game, registering a 22-7 shot advantage over Redlands.

The Bulldogs' goalkeeping combination put together a solid performance with senior Linzey Smith (Anaheim Hills, CA) going 45 scoreless minutes with three saves, while sophomore Sabrina Grandke-Bawab (Kirkland, WA) collected four saves in the remainder of the game.

Redlands (2-2-1) looks forward to competing at home on Wednesday, Sept. 21, when it faces conference foe Whittier College under the lights of Farquhar Field at 7 p.m.
