Chapman 30, Lewis & Clark 21 – The Panthers beat the visiting Lewis and Clark, 30-21, before a crowd of 2,017 at Ernie Chapman Stadium on Saturday night. The Panthers snapped a four-game losing streak by playing well on both sides of the ball.
The game marked the return of junior quarterback Patrick Josten (Irvine/University High) who had been out for a week with a concussion. Both teams looked a little tentative on offense in a scoreless first quarter. Chapman struck first, scoring at 8:54 in the second quarter when Josten hit a diving A.J. Herrera (Alta Loma/Damien High) with a 35-yard touchdown pass. Freshman running back Chase Twedell (Cerritos/Valley Christian High) scored less than four minutes later on a 25-yard touchdown run which put Chapman on top 14-6. Josten added a 17-yard touchdown pass to Ben Alvarado (Yorba Linda/Esperanza High) to give the Panthers a 21-6 halftime lead. Josten was 10-for-16 for 178 yards passing, looking almost unaffected by his week-long absence.
Lewis and Clark opened the scoring in the second half. Pioneers quarterback Trent Thompson found Reuben Miller with an 11-yard scoring pass at the end of the third quarter to cap a 12-play, 85-yard drive. After a 39-yard Chapman field goal from junior kicker, Brooks Farquhar (San Clemente/San Clemente High), the Pioneers cut the Panthers’ lead to three on a Ryan Bogle touchdown-run from 19 yards out. Chapman put an exclamation point on its first home win of the season, with a four-yard TD-run from two-way player, senior Michael Carter (Moreno Valley/Valley View High). Carter led the Panthers with 62-yards rushing on 18 carries. Chapman’s final scoring drive of 38 yards followed Herrera’s 39-yard kickoff return, his second big return of the night.
Junior linebacker Josh Oskins (Santa Ana/Foothill High) led the Panthers with nine tackles, including eight solo tackles on defense.
Chapman hosts 4-1 Menlo College this week and is will enter the game
with a three-game losing streak versus the Oaks. Look out for a slugfest
as these two teams have combined for an average of 79.3 points over the
past four meetings. Menlo doubled-up on the Panthers in Atherton last year,
44-22.

Chapman 3, Cal State Hayward 2 (OT) – The Panthers snatched victory from the hands of defeat on the road at Cal State Hayward, scoring the game-tying goal in the 88th minute of play to force overtime, then scoring the game-winning goal nine minutes into the extra period. The Pioneers scored what appeared would be the game-winning goal in the 79th minute, taking a 2-1 lead. But senior forward Scott Ross (Marietta, GA/Canyon High) scored his third goal in two games nine minutes later to tie the score. Junior forward Brock Schermerhorn (San Juan Capistrano/Aliso Niguel High) scored his team-high seventh goal of the season – and third game-winner of the year – in the 99th minute to give the Panthers the overtime win. The goal also moved Schermerhorn into sole possession of 8th place on Chapman's all-time scoring list. The win was the Panthers fourth in a row and evened their record at .500 for the first time since the team was 3-3 in mid-September.
U.C. Santa Cruz 5, Chapman 1 – The Banana Slugs, ranked 14th
in Division III by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America,
won their 14th consecutive game of the season, defeating the visiting Panthers,
5-1. Chapman broke up a 2-0 shutout with a goal from freshman forward Danny
Aviles (Menlo Park/Pinewood High) in the 61st minute, to inject
some life into a possible Panther rally. However, Santa Cruz scored nine
minutes later and twice more in the final 13 minutes to squash the Chapman
hopes of an upset. Facing a barrage of 18 shots by the Slugs, sophomore
goalkeeper Efrain
Rodriguez (Santa Ana/Saddleback High) posted a career-high ten
saves in net.

Chapman 2, U.C. Santa Cruz 1 – Junior forward Nicole Hurst (St. Helen’s, OR/St. Helen’s High) gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead with her third goal of the season just six minutes into the second half. It proved to be the game-winner as Santa Cruz broke up the shutout with a goal in the 64th minute, but its rally was stopped there by the Panthers defense. Mallory Dominguez made four saves in goal, giving Chapman its tenth win of the season. Sophomore forward Simi Phull (Fullerton/Sunny Hills High) scored her team-leading seventh goal and 17th point of the year in the first half on an assist from junior midfielder Sarah Barton (La Verne/Bonita High). The Panthers remain ranked third in the West Region this week, but moved up to 17th in the Division III rankings by the NSCAA.
Chapman 3, La Verne 0 – Chapman was awarded a penalty kick on
a hand-ball foul in the 75th minute, and scored the game-winning goal on
the ensuing shot en route to defeating visiting La Verne, 3-0. Freshman
midfielder Lindsey
Horst (Orange/El Modena High) scored the first goal of her career
on the penalty kick. The Panthers scored two more late goals versus a short-handed
La Verne team, which lost two players to red cards. For the Panthers, it

by surviving to beat a stubborn Redlands team in the fourth game. Redlands

Occidental 10, Chapman 7 – For the second time in as many weeks, the Tigers got the best of the Panthers, defeating Chapman, 10-7 in the opening game of the Claremont Convergence.
