Whitworth looks to snap Redlands' six-game series streak

Redlands has beaten Whitworth in all six meetings between the two programs since 2007, and Whitworth has not won the series since that year. That history sits oddly against this week's numbers, since Versus rates Whitworth well ahead of Redlands even though both sides arrive at 0-1. This is a non-conference game for both teams, with Redlands playing outside the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Confe listed atop the page.

Whitworth carries a B overall grade and sits 82nd in D3, with a B offense and a B- defense, though the 96th-ranked defense nationally within that grade is the softer spot in the profile. The Pirates are the No. 2 team in the Northwest Conference and have lost just 7 of their last 35 games across four seasons, but Saturday's loss extended a run in which they have now dropped back-to-back games for the first time since September 2025.

Redlands is graded C overall and ranks 140th in D3, with a C- offense and C+ defense, and was shut out in its opener for the first time since November 2025. Versus projects Whitworth to win 29-20, giving the Pirates a 70 percent chance to finally end Redlands' hold on the series.
