Feb. 17, 2008
Stockton, Calif. After earning their second victory of the season against Fresno Pacific earlier in the day, the Pacific women's water polo team fell to UC Davis in their second contest of the afternoon by a score of 15-7 on Feb. 17 in Stockton, Calif. With the loss, the Tigers fell to 2-6 on the season, while the Aggies advanced to 7-3 on the year with the win. Senior Kellie Fletcher (Roseville, Calif.) led the Tigers in scoring with four goals in the loss, bringing her total to an impressive ten goals on the day and 21 goals on the season. Fletcher also led all scorers in the contest as UC Davis's Laura Uribe led the Aggies with three goals in the contest. Although UC Davis opened up a six goal lead over the course of the first two periods, the Tigers responded before half time scoring three goals of their own to cut the deficit to 7-4 going into third. The Tigers' run was short lived however, as the Aggies outscored the Tigers 5-0 in the third period heading into the fourth and final period of the contest. In the fourth, Pacific and UC Davis went goal for goal with each other until the horn, as Fletcher tallied all three goals for the Tigers in the final minutes. Also scoring for the Tigers in the 15-7 loss were Dara Tawarahara (Honolulu, Hawai'i), who scored twice, and Courtney Boettger who netted the Tigers' sole goal of the first period to break up the Aggies early run. Senior Jocelyn Gray (Strathmore, Alberta, Canada) anchored the defense in the loss, tallying eight goals over the course of the game.
