Iona Suffers Loss To End West Coast Roadtrip

Pomona, CA – The Iona women's water polo ends the West Coast with an 11-7 loss to the Regals of Cal Lutheran. Iona was led on offense by Jenna Handali and Jordan van Reeken, combining for five of the seven Iona goals.

The Regals opened the scoring with two goals in the first 60 seconds, before the Maroon & Gold scored three straight unanswered goals from Van Reeken, and Handali gave the gaels a one goal lead with 29 seconds remaining in the first, but a last second goal from Cal Lutheran knotted things up entering the second quarters. 

Jenna found the back of the net to start the second quarter but three straight goals from the opposition to close out the quarter gave them a two goal lead entering the halftime break. The third quarter saw very little offense as both defenses made great halftime adjustments. One goal from each team was all in the third as Cal Lutheran carried the same two goal lead into the fourth. Freshman Lola Trujillo was the goal scorer in the third for the Gaels.

Cal Lutheran scored two straight to start the final eight minutes extending their lead to a commanding four goals with four minutes to play. Iona attempted a comeback with goals from Handali and Kaya Hart, but two more from the Regals closed it out. Gaels fall to 7-6 on the season.
