No. 11 UCSD Drops Final Two Games of UC Davis Invitational; Junior Goalie Courtney Miller Breaks Career Saves Mark

DAVIS, Calif. - The No. 11 UC San Diego women's water polo team suffered two losses on Saturday on the final day of the UC Davis Invitational. No. 16 UC Davis upset the Tritons with a 10-7 win, and UCSD fell 12-5 in the final match against No. 4 Cal.

The Tritons fall to 6-6 with Saturday's outcome. Jolene Guiliana recorded a hat trick against UC Davis and Laurel Kistler  completed a hat trick as well against Cal. Courtney Miller finished the day with 25 saves to break UCSD's all-time record. Miller now holds first place with 861 stops.

Game One
Despite keeping pace with the Aggies in the first half of the opener, UCSD fell victim to a slow second half in which they recorded just two goals.

The Tritons trailed 3-2 after the first frame, and added another three goals behind Lauren Boyer and Guiliana in the second period. However, UC Davis matched UCSD's three goals to hold a 6-5 advantage at the half.

The Aggies finished out the win with four additional goals in the final half, while scores Boyer and Guiliana weren't enough to put the Tritons ahead.

Game Two
The final game of the tournament was highlighted by Miller who posted a season-high 19 stops against Cal en route to breaking UCSD's all-time saves record. Miller now holds first place with 861 stops.

Unfortunately, Miller's performance wasn't enough to help the Tritons overcome their lackluster offense.

Kistler scored both of UCSD's goals in the first half. Connie Wu and Boyer recorded two apiece in the third quarter, and Kistler completed the hat trick in the final frame.

The Tritons will head to Stockton Sunday to face Pacific at 10:30 a.m.
