The women's water polo team made quick work of Connecticut College Tuesday, decisively winning the match 19-3. The No. 19 Bears, now 15-8 overall and 2-2 in Northern Division play, were never seriously challenged by the Camels, who now have a dismal 1-7 record.
Though Connecticut College hosted the event, the familiar venue did not provide an advantage as Brown leapt out to an 11-1 lead in the first quarter. After the first quarter free-for-all, the Bears added eight more goals and allowed only two goals into their net for the remainder of the game.
Twelve different players scored for Brown, with Alexis Blaxberg '08 leading the charge, the junior recording three goals and four steals. Goalkeeper Stephanie Laing '10 continued her consistency, despite being only a freshman - she made eight saves, just as she did four days earlier against No. 13 Hartwick.
The victory comes after a three-game losing streak against a trio of nationally ranked teams. Brown will face Harvard today in Cambridge, where Bruno will hope to continue its winning effort. If past results are any indication, the Bears should have a good shot at defeating the Crimson. In their last match on March 14, Brown defeated the Crimson 8-3.
