LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A big SCIAC matchup for women's water polo, facing No. 3 Chapman on Wednesday, March 19 at De Mandel Aquatics Center. The Tigers fell 9-6.
 
Like Tuesday night against Macalester, it was another tight defensive battle through the first half and into the third quarter.
 
Alexandra Moye was stellar in the first half, saving two five-meter penalty shots and a pair of one-on-one opportunities. She tallied double-digit saves for the fourth time this season, picking up 13.
 
Oxy trailed 4-3 at half, and Chapman scored the first goal of the second half, but Koko Butcher notched a key score midway through the third quarter to cut the deficit back to one. However, a 3-0 run to close the third in less than two minutes time gave the Panthers the lead for good.
 
Butcher and reigning SCIAC Offensive Athlete of the Week Tori Carlson, led the Tigers with four and two goals respectively. Hannah Lee did a nice job spreading the ball around, notching a pair of assists.
 
With the loss, Oxy fell to 6-9 on the season and 2-2 in SCIAC play. The Tigers are back in action on Saturday, hosting Caltech.
