LEWISBURG, Pa. - The women's water polo team earned decisive wins over Penn State-Behrend and Gannon University on Friday night at the Southern Championships, continuing its winning streak from last weekend's ECAC Championship. The Tigers went 7 for 10 on their six-on-five opportunities to defeat Penn State-Behrend, 11-3, and Gannon, 19-5.
Princeton opened a 8-0 lead against Penn State in the first quarter of Game 1, as Melinda Martin scored three goals and Adele McCarthy-Beauvais had two. Both Tigers finished the game with three goals apiece, and Martin added a team-high three steals. Keala Carter and Courtney Mee each dished out three three assists.
