February 15, 2015 | Women's Water Polo
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Behind another strong showing from freshman goalie Helena van Brande, the 14th-ranked Princeton University women's water polo team wrapped up play at Bucknell's Bison Invitational with a 15-5 victory over St. Francis.
A night after junior Ashleigh Johnson tied her own single-game program record of 20 saves, van Brande matched the feat in just her third collegiate start. Stopping four shots in the first quarter, she added four more in the second. Recording six saves in the third quarter, the rookie netminder posted six more in the final frame to equal the Tigers' single-game benchmark.
Nine different Princeton players found the back of the net in the win, as the Orange and Black raced out to a 10-2 halftime lead. Chelsea Johnson, Ashley Hatcher, Pippa Temple, Kimi Klein, Jessie Holechek and Sydney Saxe each recorded two goals. Haley Wan, Hannah Lapkin and Kelly Gross accounted for the Tigers' other three scores.
Klein also had three assists and a steal, while Wan and Gross picked up a pair of helpers. Saxe nabbed a team-high three steals, while Gross posted three blocks. Johnson, Temple, Gross, Klein and Morgan Hallock each drew a pair of ejections.
