Marist's water polo team picked up some serious steam this weekend. The women went 3-1 over a two-day tournament at the University of Maryland in College Park. On Saturday, the Foxes beat Bucknell for the first time in program history, 7-6, before dropping their second contest to Princeton, 11-5. Princeton is currently ranked as the number 17 team in the country.
On the second day of the Maryland Invitational, Marist toppled its opponents, beating Maryland 12-7 and then George Washington 6-5. These victories pushed the team's record to 5-3 on the year, with its only losses coming to teams ranked in the top 20 nationally.
Freshman Kristen Barnett is leading the way offensively, early this season. She scored another four goals against Maryland after notching two against Bucknell. In addition to Barnett, sophomore Katelin McCahil scored three goals against the Terrapins. Freshman Samantha Swartz added two while her classmates Hilary Schroeder and Maggie Hatcher, along with sophomore Kari Weston, added a goal apiece.
Schroeder also produced one of the top defensive games on the weekend, grabbing two steals and drawing two ejections and a penalty shot. Backstopping Schroeder and the rest of the team, junior captain Elizabeth Davis stopped 11 shots and had three steals against Maryland before making nine saves and snagging two steals in the game against George Washington.
In the 6-5 win over George Washington, six different players scored for Marist. Schroeder, Hatcher, Weston, McCahill, Swartz, and Angie Rampton all found the back of the net to help the Foxes squeak out the victory. Weston also had three assists and McCahill had two.
Maryland, George Washington, and Bucknell will all have chances to redeem themselves against Marist this weekend at the Bucknell Invitational.
The other team involved is Grove City, who Marist plays against on Saturday after its 11:45 a.m. game against Maryland. Then, Sunday features the Red Foxes in rematches against the George Washington Colonials and Bucknell Bison.
