CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brown University women's water polo challenged a pair of nationally ranked opponents at the Harvard Invitational before falling to No. 11 University of California, Davis, 12-8, and No. 24 California Baptist University, 10-8, on Saturday at Blodgett Pool.
The Bears (10-5) remained tied, 4-4, with the Aggies (9-8) at the half and stayed within 6-4 of the Lancers (9-8) at the break prior to dropping both contests.
"We played two very good teams today and held our own in both games," Brown head coach Felix Mercado said. "While we didn't get the results we hoped for, these are the kind of games that help us get better."
Between the two games, senior McKenna Miller (Danville, Calif.), junior Lexi Atwell (La Jolla, Calif.) and freshman Dagmara Czajka (San Diego, Calif.) each scored three goals.
Next, Brown concludes play at the Harvard Invitational tomorrow, Sunday, Mar. 3, at 11:45 a.m. against Gannon.
