Bucknell Women's Water Polo Drops Season Opener to No. 12 UCSB

Kallmeyer, Schraa Score First Career Goals
PRINCETON, N.J.– No. 12 UC Santa Barbara started fast and never looked back in taking a 16-7 win over the Bucknell women's water polo team on Saturday afternoon in its season opener.
The Gauchos scored eight goals in each half, including a 4-1 run to start the game, to pull away from Bucknell and improve to 7-1 on the season.
It took just 19 seconds for the Gauchos to get on the board on a goal from Camilla Mackay, but the Bison found the answering goal just 30 seconds later when Bella Moynihan found the back of the cage at the 7:12 mark.
UCSB ended the period strongly, scoring three straight goals over the final four minutes to take a 4-1 lead after one. Isabelle Monaghan scored Bucknell's second goal of the game at the 7:48 mark of the second, but another run from the Gauchos, this time 4-0, gave them a commanding 8-2 lead before Bucknell's Bella Schraa scored her first career goal just before the end of the half to make it 8-3.
Two goals from Gwen Kallmeyer and a goal from Izzy Lippolis were not enough in the second half as UCSB took a 16-7 decision over the Bison to improve to 5-0 in the all-time series between the two schools.
Bucknell returns to action tomorrow morning against UC San Diego before closing the Princeton Invite with an afternoon matchup against Wagner.
