With the loss, Pomona-Pitzer falls to 8-11 overall and 1-1 in SCIAC. 

In a closely-fought conference battle, Pomona-Pitzer led after one, 3-2, but Chapman outscored the Sagehens, 3-2, in the second for a 6-6 halftime tie. Both teams were scoreless in the third, and Chapman outscored Pomona-Pitzer, 4-3, in the final quarter for the win.
