February 22, 2019 | Women's Water Polo
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The No. 14 Princeton Tigers steamrolled the LaSalle Explorers, 20-5, at Kirk Pool on Friday evening.
It's just the 10th time in program history that the team has scored at least 20 goals in a game. 10 different players registered a goal in the contest with Nicole Kresich' five tallies leading the way.

The Tigers put the game away with a shutout in the third stanza, scoring seven times. Princeton led 16-4 after 24 minutes and cruised to its fifth straight victory.
