AZTECS 10-0

PRINCETON, N.J. - The sixth-ranked San Diego State women's water polo team remained perfect and extended its best start in the program's 13-year history to 10-0 with two wins on Sunday morning on the final day of the Princeton Invitational.

For the five-game tournament co-captain BECCA UR (pictured here) totaled seven goals and goalie HEATHER FENSKE amassed 34 saves and 70% of the goalie minutes.

The Aztecs began their doubleheader sweep with a 12-6 triumph over Indiana before downing George Washington 11-3. In the next-to-last contest Ur and junior Anna Gonzales each recorded a hat trick to lead the Aztecs to a 12-6 victory over 18th-ranked Indiana. Fenske played the entire game in goal, recording nine saves.

In the final match Ur scored again while Fenske received her first breather in the five weekend contests.

On Saturday the Aztecs took three games with Ur scoring twice against Michigan and once opposite Bucknell. SDS won 10-9 over No. 15 Michigan, 13-8 over Bucknell, and 11-6 over host (19th-ranked) Princeton.

Shut out

With outfielder/third baseman BEN ORNELAS not yet on the Lewis-Clark State roster, infielder ISAAC SIMMONS retired, third-baseman NATE MENDOZA and pitcher JAKE KOUGL graduated (despite a mistaken report here recently—our mistake), Lompoc currently appears to have no baseball players performing at four-year schools. This is the first time this has happened in at least eight years. [Somebody please write and tell us we're wrong!]
