Myers sets career high in win over Bucknell
ONEONTA, N.Y. – The Indiana water polo squad gained an all-important conference victory in the first round robin weekend of the CWPA schedule. The Hoosiers (14-8, 1-2) dropped a hard-fought contest with No. 10 Princeton, 10-6, before grabbing their first conference win of the season with a 12-7 result over Bucknell. The Tigers leave the pool today with a 19-3 record, 4-1 in the CWPA, while the Bison are 13-15 with a 2-5 CWPA mark.
A pair of career record performances led Indiana's attack in Saturday's action. Freshman Mollie Williams paced the Hoosiers with four goals and an assist against Princeton. In the afternoon matchup with Bucknell, Sarah Myers marked a career-high output with four goals and an assist, along with three steals.
Indiana's goalkeepers evenly split the 64 minutes in the cage. Jessica Gaudreault tallied seven saves with three steals and an assist over 32 minutes, while freshman Davis Simmons recorded 11 saves with three assists. Simmons' 8 saves and two assists against Bucknell were both single-game career highs.
Game 21: Princeton 10, Indiana 6
PRI: 3 – 5 – 1 – 1 – 10
IU: 1 – 2 – 1 – 2 – 6
Indiana Goals: Williams (4), Nacouzi (1), Kozokar (1)
Princeton Goals: Wan (3), C. Johnson (2), Kelleher (2), Hallock (1), Britt (1), Blake (1)
Goalkeepers: Gaudreault (3 saves, 3 steals), Simmons (3 saves, 1 assist)
The day started with Indiana's highest-ranked opponent remaining on their schedule, the No. 10 Princeton Tigers. An even game through eight minutes saw a dramatic shift in the second period, when the Tigers capitalized on the shallow attack end for a 4-0 scoring run to end the half.
The Hoosiers won an airtight second half, edging the Tigers 3-2 on the score sheet. In that span Williams found her third and fourth goals, the first on a power play late in the third period. The mark was not only Williams' highest in her 22-game career; it's the third hat trick of her freshman season.
Junior Jennifer Beadle led the Hoosiers' assist count with two of the team's six dishes. Williams and Nacouzi each led the Hoosiers in the field with two steals.
Game 22: Indiana 12, Bucknell 7
BUCK: 2 – 2 – 0 – 3 – 7
IU: 5 – 4 – 1 – 2 – 12
Indiana Goals: Myers (4), Young (3), Nacouzi (2), Powell (1), Matthews (1), Smith (1)
Bucknell Goals: Rojahn (2), Stanbach (1), Mooney (1), Konishi (1), Barron (1), Considine (1)
Goalkeepers: Gaudreault (4 saves, 1 assist), Simmons (8 saves, 2 assists)
The Hoosiers returned later in the afternoon determined to snag their first CWPA win of the season in their contest with Bucknell. Indiana achieved that, and more, with a handful of outstanding individual efforts and a solid team performance.
Junior Sarah Myers poured four goals into the opposing cage, a high mark in a career laden with multi-goal stat lines. Kelly Matthews took part in four scores with a goal and three assists, while Joelle Nacouzi added two scores and an assist. In total, the Canadian junior international trio accounted for seven goals, five assists, and six of the Hoosiers' nine steals.
Indiana uncorked a 5-1 run to start the game, sparked by Myers' opening pair. Myers had a hat trick before the end of the first period, scoring her third with a minute left on the clock. Myers and Sarah Young continued the attack in the second, and Matthews converted a power play chance to stretch Indiana's lead to five. Emily Powell equalized Bucknell's late goal to give the Hoosiers a 9-4 lead at halftime.
Sarah Young completed a hat trick, her third this season, with the only goal of the thirf period. The Hoosiers and Bison traded blows in the forth quarter, with Nacouzi and Bronwyn Smith scoring to keep Bucknell at bay.
The Hoosiers converted three-of-four chances on the power play, their most efficient output since the start of the CWPA schedule. They also ended the day winning all eight opening sprints, with Myers taking five and Nacouzi earning three.
