PRINCETON, N.J. - The Princeton women's water polo team remained undefeated with two victories in the 2000 Princeton Invitational on Saturday at DeNunzio Pool. The Tigers opened the day with a 13-6 win over Queens followed by a 13-7 victory over Brown in the nightcap.

The Tigers were led by first-year player Adele McCarthy (Haydenville, Mass.), who tallied five goals, including four in the first quarter. Katherine Kixmiller (Jr., Menlo Park, Calif.) tallied two of her four goals in the second quarter to give Princeton an 8-2 lead at halftime.
