Camels Extend Winning Streak to 14 Matches with Two More Wins on Senior Day
NEW LONDON, Conn.--The Connecticut College women's water polo hosted a Division III regional in Lott Natatorium this weekend.
The Camels (15-10) continued on their torrid stretch of play Sunday, posting two more wins to extend their winning streak to 14.
In the first match, the Camels defeated Macalester College 10-3. Later on in the day, Connecticut College knocked off the Pioneers from Utica in a 12-4 triumph.
"This weekend was a special one for the Camels," Connecticut College Head Men's and Women's Water Polo Coach Matt Anderson said. "It was a chance at home to say goodbye to four outstanding seniors who have done so much for the women's water polo program here. To say they will be missed is an understatement As a team we were able to get the program's first shutout and we were able to finish the regular season conference play undefeated (14-0) for the first time in history.
Now we need to focus on winning three more games so we can add the title of CWPA Division 3 champions!"
