CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Brown Women's Water Polo (11-8, 3-3 CWPA) split the second day of the Harvard Invitational on Sunday (March 2), falling to No. 8 Harvard (14-1, 6-0 CWPA) before toppling Siena (2-13).

BROWN v. No. 8 HARVARD [L, 9-7]

Samantha Kim and Sofia Holman were first to strike against Harvard, followed by Cleo Washer and Aubrie Anderson in quarter two. The Bears trailed Harvard 5-4 heading into the second half. Anderson and Kim netted one more apiece in the third quarter, along with Ava Schoening with one to tie the match briefly at 7-7.

A scoreless final quarter on Brown's part afforded Harvard the opportunity to pull safely ahead, and the Crimson secured the win over the Bears by two points.

BROWN v. SIENA [W, 15-7]

The Bears bounced back against Siena to secure their third win of the weekend. Brown picked up four goals to Siena's zero in an uncontested first quarter.

They continued to excel throughout the second period, netting six more goals by half to bring the Bears to a 10-3 lead. Brown found the net five more times throughout Q3, and neither team scored in the final period, bringing the final score to 15-7 in favor of the Bears.

Aubrie Anderson led the match in scoring, netting a total of three goals, followed by Sofia Holman and Emmy Hensley with two apiece. The remaining eight points were split across eight teammates – Madeleine Poissonnier, Ava Schoening, Cleo Washer, Ella Palmer, Katherine Knowles, Gaby Montalvo, Ellen Norell, and Alexandra Love – who logged one goal each.
