Football
Overall: 5-3 SCIAC: 3-2
The University of Redlands Bulldogs scored only nine points on Saturday
night, but it proved to be too much for the Sagehens to overcome as they could
only muster seven. Despite 235 yards rushing from Jonathan Samples, the
offense never got going and could only muster one fourth quarter touchdown, a 1
yard scramble by Quarterback Cody Peterson. The Bulldogs only scoring came
off of two field goals in the second quarter and one in the fourth. The
win brings The University of Redlands to 5-2 on the season (4-0 SCIAC), and
drops the Sagehens to 5-3 (3-2 SCIAC). It is the second loss in a row for
Pomona-Pitzer, who conclude their season at CMS on Saturday at 1 pm.

Saturday night with a 62 -35 victory. The Kingsmen forced and capitalized
on 6 Pomona-Pitzer turnovers, scoring on 5 of them. The Sagehens were down
35-7 at halftime, with the only score coming off of a 21 yard run by Jonathan
Samples; Samples finished the game with 164 yards on 17 carries and two
touchdowns. In the second half, the Kingsmen struck first and took a 41-7
lead before the Sagehens' offense started rolling. The Hens outscored Cal
Lutheran 28-27 in the second half. Next week is a bye week for the
football team; they play Redlands the following week.
Jonathan Samples ran all over the University of Chicago on Saturday, as the
visiting Sagehens came away with a 38-21 victory. Samples rushed for 256
yards on 24 carries and four touchdowns, single-handedly outscoring Chicago.
