Yelensky Scores Seven Times As No. 8 Women's Water Polo Drops No. 21 Brown, 17-11
February 07, 2025 | Women's Water Polo
PROVIDENCE – Kayla Yelensky registered a career-high seven goals as the No. 8 Princeton Women's Water Polo Team defeated the No. 21 Brown Bears, 17-11, at Katherine Coleman Aquatics Center on Friday evening.
Yelensky scored a hat trick just 3:30 into the game as Princeton led 4-2 after eight minutes. The Tigers opened the second quarter with three straight tallies to expand their lead to five, 7-2.
Brown ripped off three of the next four to get within three, 8-5, before Shanna Davidson and Yelensky ended the threat with tallies. Princeton went into halftime doubling up Brown, 10-5.
Davidson and Ava Houlahan began the second half scoring as Princeton eventually led 13-6 after 24 minutes. The Tigers were never threatened in the fourth quarter, scoring four times highlighted by Yelensky's seventh goal of the game.
Yelensky's seven tallies are the most goals in a game by a Tiger since Katie Rigler registered seven vs. Bucknell in April of 2011. Adele McCarthy-Beauvais and Elyse Colgan have the program record with eight each.
Princeton continues the weekend trek at the Harvard Invitational Saturday. Head coach Derek Ellingson's team takes on No. 18 Harvard (10:20 a.m.) and No. 11 UC San Diego (3:50 p.m.) tomorrow.
