LEWISBURG, Pa. – The No. 21 Princeton University women's water polo team fell 11-9 to the Harvard Crimson, Saturday afternoon at the Kinney Natatorium. It's the third time this season that the Crimson have gotten the better of the Tigers.

The Tigers would add one back and trail 5-3 after one. The deficit would balloon to four, with Harvard leading 9-5 at the half. The Tigers managed to close the gap to two in the fourth quarter, but were unable to complete the comeback.
