SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Brown women's water polo got its weekend off to a hot start as the Bears beat both Cal State Monterey Bay and Cal State East Bay. Both Claire Pisani and Lilly Weiser had four goals on the day.
GAME 1 – Brown 13, Cal State Monterey Bay 8
Brown picked up a 13-8 win to start play at the Santa Clara Spring Invitational over Cal State Monterey Bay. Claire Pisani led the Bears with three goals. Claire Poissonnier and Emily Suong each finished with two goals. Suong also led the team with two assists.
Brown began the game off quickly with a 4-1 lead after the first quarter. Pisani scored two goals in the first quarter with Sierra Martin and Katharine Knowles finding the net as well before CSUMB found the net before the quarter ended.
Suong and Bryn Gioffredi each tallied goals in the second quarter but CSUMB won the quarter 3-2.
Pisani scored her third goal of the game 20 seconds into the second half. After a goal by the Otters, Brown ripped off a four-goal run with goals from Sophie Golub, Poissonnier, Dagmara Czajka and Suong to go up 11-5.
Poissonnier and Lily Weiser each scored goals in the fourth quarter as Brown cruised to the win.
Marley Presiado picked up the win in goal with 11 saves.
