Women's Water Polo Picks Up One-Goal Wins vs. Bucknell and Maryland
April 05, 2008 | Women's Water Polo
PRINCETON -- The Princeton women's water polo team picked up a pair of one-goal wins on Saturday at DeNunzio Pool. Princeton edged Bucknell 7-6 in the afternoon and rallied for a 10-9 win against Maryland in the evening.
Princeton got out to a 2-0 lead against Bucknell with two goals in the first quarter and pretty much controlled play from there on. Princeton held the two-goal margin to lead 3-1 at the half and was up 7-4 after three quarters. Bucknell snuck back within a goal in the final period, but the Tigers were able to keep them from tying the game and recorded the one-goal win, avenging a one-goal loss at Bucknell last Friday night.
Sophomore Phoebe Champion scored a game-high four goals to lead Princeton offensively and freshman Lauren Brunner scored twice. Sophomore Lauren Sabb, Princeton's leading goal scorer had a single goal in the win. Senior Natalie Kim made five saves for the win.
In the nightcap, the Tigers again jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but found themselves down 3-2 after a quarter of action. Princeton outscored Maryland 3-2 in the second quarter to go to the half deadlocked at five goals each.
Maryland scored the first goal of the third quarter on a five-meter shot, but Sabb quickly answered for Princeton with the second of her three goals. The teams continued to trade goals in the half with Maryland going ahead 8-7 when Blaise Stanicic scored with 25 seconds left in the quarter.
Princeton fell behind 9-7 with 5:20 left in the final quarter, but scored the game's final three goals to rally for a 10-9 win. Freshman Lauren Brunner scored during a 6 on 5 with 3:48 left to make it 9-8 and then Sabb scored her third goal of the game with 1:16 left to even things up at 9-9. The Tigers stopped Maryland on the ensuing possession, then Champion scored with 36 seconds left off a pass from sophomore Helen Meigs to put Princeton ahead. Maryland had one last possession and Kim came up big in the Tiger goal, making two of her 13 saves before the Tigers were able to gain possession and run out the clock.
Sabb led the way with three goals in the win, while Champion and freshman Tanya Wilcox both scored twice.
Princeton improved to 14-9 overall with the win and is now 2-1 in the CWPA Southern Division. Princeton hosts George Washington on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.
