PROVIDENCE, R.I.- Bucknell women's water polo (15-13) fell 17-4 to #10 Princeton (21-6) in the CWPA Semifinals on Saturday afternoon. The first-seeded Tigers were too much for the fourth-seeded Bison. Princeton led 10-1 at halftime and cruised to the 17-4 victory.

Princeton scored six goals in the first quarter, leaving no doubt to the eventual outcome. The Bison offense tried to find openings but were undone by Princeton's aggressive and defiant defense.

Bella Schraa tallied a goal in the second quarter to break Princeton's streak. The Tigers prevented any comeback by scoring four more cage-finders for the 10-1 halftime lead.

The Tigers outscored Bucknell 4-0 in the third quarter, firmly putting the game away.

The Bison never stopped fighting and equaled Princeton's three goal output in the final stanza with a trio of goals. Ashley Hopper scored the first tally. Regan Coon provided the second goal. Rhys Beutler supplied the Bison's final cage-finder.

Bucknell will face the loser of Harvard-Michigan in tomorrow's third-place game at 11 a.m.
