W. Water Polo Finishes 15th at NCAAs

Third-quarter goals by Christine Meiers, who had three in the game, and Magnuson were not enough to offset the Hawaiian punch of Lisa DeRossi. The Australian junior, who scored four goals three times over the course of the tournament, poured in two of her five in the third.

Hawaii outscored the Crimson 6-3 again in the second half.

In its third game, a balanced scoring attack helped the Crimson remain within striking distance of the Lions. Bennett, Magnuson and junior Jess Gunderson each scored two goals. But ULM's Julia Wald and Lucy Windes each added a pair, and halftime found Harvard behind, 4-3.

A four-goal third-quarter outburst sealed the deal for Loyola. Julia Wald's third goal gave the Lions a four-goal cushion heading into the final quarter.

The Crimson defense regrouped in the fourth shutting ULM out for the last eight minutes. Magnuson and Gunderson scored late in the fourth to bring the Crimson within two, but it wasn't enough to overcome the third-quarter explosion.

Harvard's final game came against the 15th-seeded Wolverines. The Crimson, knowing that this contest would be their last in 2000, finally pulled out a win to finish 15th in the field.

The junior duo did it again in the first quarter of this game, as goals from Magnuson and Gunderson put the Crimson up 2-0. Humphries padded the lead with her third goal of the tournament before Michigan's Melissa Karjala broke the shutout.
