Women's Water Polo Downs Harvard for Third at ECACs
February 27, 2011 | Women's Water Polo
Princeton scored five times in the first quarter to put the game out of reach early on. Rachele Gyorffy, Molly McBee and Katie Rigler each contributed two goals in the win. Gyorffy added two assists, a steal, drew an ejection and won two sprints. Rigler also added a steal, drew an ejection and won a sprint and she capped an eight-goal weekend in Princeton's three games.
Princeton went 1 for 3 on ejections drawn in the game with Lauren Brunner converting on the goal. Two of Harvard's three goals came on ejections. Harvard was 2 for 4. Grace du Pont made seven saves for her second win of the weekend.
The win moves Princeton to 5-2 overall as the Tigers bounced back from Saturday night's semifinal loss to Maryland. Princeton returns to DeNunzio Pool next weekend to host three CWPA teams as Indiana, George Washington and Hartwick all make the trip to New Jersey.
