Women's Water Polo Splits at LMU Invitational
March 14, 2009 | Women's Water Polo
LOS ANGELES ? The Princeton women's water polo team split a pair of games on Saturday at the LMU Invitational, falling to 11th-ranked Cal State Northridge 6-5 and defeating Colorado State 11-4.
The Tigers got off to a good start against the Matadors, scoring three goals in the first quarter and building an early lead as Brunner, junior Carolina Ardila and freshman Audry Zak all scored on exclusions in the first quarter to give Princeton a 4-1 lead.
Brunner added a goal midway through the second quarter to give the Tigers a 4-1 lead, but the Matadors closed out the half with three goals in the final 2:11 to draw even at 4-4 at halftme. The first of the three goals came on a 5-meter shot and the last came with just 10 seconds left in the half.
When the game resumed, Cal State Northridge took its first lead two minutes into the third quarter but sophomore Sierra Schelegle brought Princeton even with 2:29 left in the third quarter. The Matadors responded quickly though as they scored the game-winning goal 21 seconds later. Neither team scored in the final period.
Freshman Kristen Ward made 11 saves for the Tigers in the loss.
In the second game, Princeton raced to an early lead and never looked back as they scored four goals in the first quarter and never trailed. Junior Phoebe Champion scored three goals to lead the Tigers in the win.
Princeton jumped to a 4-0 lead with four straight goals in the opening frame. Sophomore Sarah Hutchison scored the game's first goalie and additional scores from sophomore Tanya Wilcox, freshman Cayley Bowles and Brunner extended Princeton's lead.
Colorado State chipped a goal off the lead in the second quarter but Princeton held a 4-1 lead at the half. The teams each scored three times in the third period with the Rams moving within a goal at 5-4 with 3:28 left in the third, but the Tigers answered that goal early and often with six unanswered goals for the 11-4 triumph.
Hutchison and Brunner added two goals each in the win, while sophomore Christina Michel made six saves.
Princeton moved to 9-4 with the split. The Tigers face CSU Bakersfield and Loyola Marymount tomorrow.
