BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University freshman Cassie Wyckoff started at goalkeeper during the final three games of the USA Open (20-Over) National Championship in Stockton, Calif. for the Stanford Red club team, including a 12-11 overtime victory against the New York Athletic Club A team in the title game.
Wyckoff's stellar play in goal was crucial during the waning moments of the contest as she made a key block to help send the game into overtime. She also started in an 8-7 semifinal win against Diablo and an 8-4 pool play victory against the New York Athletic Club A team.
Wyckoff joined the Stanford Red team after being called up from the Stanford White (B) team following the 20-Under tournament, which Stanford Red also won. Cassie's sister, Indiana sophomore Lauren Wyckoff, played a key role in the impressive run during both tournaments for Stanford Red, including a goal scored in the 20-Under title game.
The duo became part of the first Stanford Water Polo Club team to claim both the 20-Under and Open titles in the same year, finishing the week with a 14-0 overall record.
