Lizzy Kosin scored three goals and Amanda Akiyama had three assists as the Tigers dropped their second game on Saturday.

Despite the result, Kosin noted the progress the Tigers made throughout the season, particularly at the SCIAC Championship.

"The amount of improvement we showed at the SCIAC tournament is not just a testament to the coaches, but to all of the hard work everyone put into this season," Kosin said. "I couldn't be prouder to be an Oxy Tiger and these girls are going to do great things next year."

Carly Zurcher had a solid all-around effort with a goal, an assist, three steals and two blocks.

From the coach: ""We had a tough shooting day today. We generated a lot of really good looks, but just couldn't quite get that rhythm," Oxy head coach Chris Lee said. "Shots we normally knock down just weren't falling for us. Sometimes you have days like that so we relied on our defense to keep us in it."

Zurcher led Oxy with three goals and two assists, and Kosin added two goals and an assist against Redlands.

Oxy goalkeeper Anna De Groot had a big game in the cage with 13 saves.

Season Impact: Oxy finishes the year in eighth place in the SCIAC with an overall record of 4-14 and 2-10.
