Berkeley – The No. 7 seeded Princeton Women's Water Polo Team fell to the No. 2 seeded Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, 11-6, in the NCAA Quarterfinals at the Spieker Aquatics Complex on Friday evening.
Meera Burghardt got the scoring started on this fantastic tally from the far side …
The Rainbow Warriors scored two more times to end the first half and led 7-2 at halftime.
Yelensky scored on a 5M shot in the third frame, but Hawaii led 11-3 after 24 minutes.
Olivia Krotts and Kaila Carroll combined to score three times in the final stanza as Hawaii took home the victory.
Yelensky and Carroll recorded two goals each while Lindsey Lucas had five saves in the loss.
Princeton's season ends at 23-7 with 12 victories over ranked opponents. The Tigers won their sixth conference title in program history while also doing it in back-to-back years for the second time ever. It's also the third time that the men and women have won conference championships in the same academic year (2011-12, 2022-23, 2023-24).
