PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Bucknell women's water polo team struggled to find its offense, dropping a 5-2 decision to Iona on Saturday, April 3, at the ECAC Championship at Brown University. It is the third time this season BU has been held to just two goals in a game.
Neither team proved potent offensively with the score 3-1 after two quarters of play. Iona tallied once each in the third and fourth quarters, while the Bison could only manage a score in the final frame.
Junior Katie Hartigan and freshman Taylor Voeltz scored Bucknell's goals, while freshmen Elizabeth Jensen and Adrienne Fischer added the assists.
Junior Meg Blitzer and Voeltz threw some defense of their own at the Gaels, recording five and three steals, respectively. Rookie goalkeeper Mandy Bynum made six saves for the Orange and Blue.
