Women's Water Polo Wins Twice at CWPA Regional

MONMOUTH, Il. - The Penn State Behrend women's water polo team won twice Saturday on the second day of action at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Regional. The Lions (3-8) defeated Monmouth 10-4 in the first game of the day and returned at night with a 6-5 nail biting victory over Macalester.

Maryn Horn (Houston, TX/Jersey Village) scored a career-high five goals against Monmouth and led Behrend with three goals against Macalester. The Lions led Monmouth 6-2 at halftime and added four second-half goals to notch the victory.

Brittany Pinter (Erie, PA/McDowell) added three goals on the day while Taylor Reed (York, PA/Central York) chipped in two goals in the victory over Monmouth.

Tied at halftime, neither Behrend nor Macalester could push across a goal in the third quarter. Horn broke the tie at the 6:38 mark in the fourth quarter and the tacked on a second goal just 20 seconds later to give the Lions a two-goal lead. Macalester scored to make it 6-5, but the Behrend defense clamped down holding Macalester off the scoreboard for the final 6:07 of the game.

Kaitlyn Conely (Exeter, CA/Exeter) and Allie Schneider (Erie, PA/McDowell) scored a goal each in the two games. Kara Stegmann (Harleysville, PA/Souderton Area) had a great day in the net making 25 saves and also netted a goal of her own.

The Lions have one more contest remaining in the CWPA Regional. Behrend will face Utica at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow.
