PRINCETON – Jovana Sekulic and Kayla Yelensky combined for seven goals as the No. 6 Princeton Women's Water Polo Team defeated La Salle Explorers, 14-10, at DeNunzio Pool on Friday evening.
After La Salle evened the game at 1-all, the home squad ran off four straight to hold a 5-1 lead after eight minutes of action.
