Laing & Presant Key No. 20 Brown University Past Wagner 6-2 in ECAC Championship Opening Round
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Lauren Presant (Sr., Poway, Calif./Poway) led the offense with three goals, while Stephanie Laing (Sr., Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) picked up 12 saves in the goal to lead the defense as No. 20-nationally ranked Brown University downed Wagner College 6-2 in the opening round of the 2010 Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship at Princeton University's DeNunzio Pool.
Wagner jumped out to a 2-0 lead,
but the Bears rebounded with Laing locking down the Wagner shooters
as Presant and Sarah Glick took over on offense. The Bears
outscored Wagner 2-0 in the second quarter, 3-0 in the third and
1-0 in the fourth to earn the 6-2 win and advance to a semifinal
meeting against Marist College.
To go along with her three goals, Presant also picked up four
steals. Sarah Glick (Sr., Bonita, Calif./Bonita
Vista) added two goals, an assist and three steals, while
freshman Brittany Westerman (Palo Alto, Calif./Deerfield
Academy) chipped in the last tally as Brown improved to
6-1 on the young season.
The semifinals will be a rematch of the 2009 ECAC Championship game in which the Bears downed Marist 10-8 in overtime at Marist for the program's only ECAC Championship crown in the sport of women's water polo.
