Women's Water Polo Takes Seventh Place at CWPA Championships

GROVE CITY, Pa. — The Carthage College women's water polo team took seventh place in the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Championships with a 13-12 win over Penn State Behrend Saturday morning. 

After the Lions took a 2-0 lead to start, Gladys Contreras got the Firebirds on the board in the first. Penn State Behrend netted two unanswered goals until Alyssa Sayatovic and Dominika Myrda responded with two goals. After two more goals for the Lions made it 6-3, Meghan Fisher scored her first shrinking the margin to two. Carthage closed out the quarter by scoring two more goals from Alyssa Sayatovic and Sophie Flott tying the game at six. 

The Firebirds took their first lead of the game with a goal from Sarah Lowery in the third. Though Penn State Behrend tied it at seven, another goal for Carthage put them back ahead by one. The Lions responded with three straight goals and headed to the final quarter of play up 10-8. 

Both teams traded goals before Alyssa Sayatovic scored her fourth goal in the contest. Carthage scored the next three goals as Kathlynn LaGrone netted two and Sophie Flott registered one. Though the Lions made it a one-point margin with a last-second goal, Carthage won 13-12. 

Alyssa Sayatovic and Gladys Contreras were named to the CWPA all-tournament second team following the conclusion of the tournament.
