Colonials downed St. Francis Brooklyn on Sunday
PRINCETON, N.J. - GW women's water polo showcased a balanced offensive attack and excellent defense in Sunday's 9-5 win over St. Francis Brooklyn to close out the Princeton Invitational.
Juliette Belanger, Katherine Atherton, Allison DeCicco and Kira Bruno scored two goals apiece to power the Colonials past the Terriers in a morning contest at DeNunzio Pool.
GW raced out to a 5-0 lead after one quarter and never let St. Francis get closer than four goals the rest of the way to improve to 5-6 on the season.
Goalkeeper Mackenzie Matheny did her part to keep the Colonials in front with 11 saves, including a stopped 5-meter penalty shot. Alana Ponce notched three steals and Bruno grabbed a pair of thefts as part of the lock-down effort.
The Colonials spread around the offense with the four multi-goal scorers, paced by matching two-goal, one-assist efforts from Belanger and Bruno. Marina Daroca Bazán provided the other goal and also dished out a pair of helpers.
UP NEXT: GW has a break next weekend before opening CWPA play on Feb. 29 in Foggy Bottom vs. No. 21 Princeton on Senior Day at Smith Center Pool.
