No. 21 Water Polo Wins Two at Cal Lutheran
2/19/2019 3:33:00 PM | Women's Water Polo
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.---No. 21 CSUN Water Polo (6-6) swept its two matches at Cal Lutheran on Tuesday afternoon. The Matadors defeated Toronto 11-8 in the morning match before routing host Cal Lutheran 15-8 to close out the day. Juniors Madasonne Butler and Tori Wilson led the way offensively on the day, tallying a combined six goals apiece while junior Katia Andon-Mateos racked up five goals. A total of seven Matadors hit the back of the net in the two matches. In front of the cage, sophomore Emma Pfister collected 13 saves in the two wins.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH MATT WARSHAW
"It was a challenge playing a Toronto team we didn't know too much about, all and all a good learning experience with the win. CLU is one of the premier teams in the SCIAC Conference so to score 15 goals against them was a good sign that our offense is moving in the right direction."
TORONTO GAME RECAP
Butler got the Matador offense rolling with two goals in the first quarter while Andon-Mateos hit the net as well to give CSUN a 3-0 lead. The Blues were able to rally back late in the first quarter after two goals from Alicia Vas but CSUN regained control in the second period. Kylee Jansen and Jennalyn Barthels each got into the scoring act with tallies in the second period while CSUN held Toronto without a goal for the final seven-plus minutes of the first half.
The teams traded three goals apiece in the third period as CSUN built a 7-3 lead early on only to see the Blues cut the deficit to 7-6 with 2:16 on the clock. Barthels would hit a goal in the final minute on a power play to push the Matador lead to two goals heading to the fourth.
In the final period, Butler opened up the scoring but Vas hit back-to-back goals to stretch her tally to six on the match. Andon-Mateos gave the Matadors some breathing room with a timely goal at the 4:11 mark, pushing the lead to 10-8. CSUN played strong defense down the stretch, holding the Blues to zero goals over the final 4:46 of the match while a late goal from Wilson sealed the 11-8 victory.
Pfister racked up five saves in the match while Wilson and Barthels picked up two assists and two steals apiece.
