LEWISBURG, Pa. – Brown University women's water polo defeated George Washington University, 11-7, and fell to No. 15 Princeton University, 8-4, in a pair of Collegiate Water Polo Association games on Saturday at Bucknell University's Kinney Natatorium.
The Bears (17-12, 1-3 CWPA) used a 5-0 run to take an 8-3 lead in the third quarter on their way to the win over the Colonials (5-11, 0-4 CWPA) in game one before dropping the decision to the Tigers (18-8, 4-1 CWPA) in game two.
"It was good to get the win over George Washington to start the day," Brown head coach Felix Mercado said. "I give credit to Princeton for getting off to a good start against us in game two. We're looking forward to getting back in the pool against St. Francis tomorrow morning in our final conference game of the regular season."
Freshman Lili Akin (Santa Barbara, Calif.) scored a game-high three goals in Brown's win over George Washington, sophomore Carissa Perez (Pico Rivera, Calif.) tallied six assists between the two games, and junior goalkeeper Lauren Burns (Long Grove, Ill.) made 20 saves on the day, including 13 stops against GW.
