PASADENA, Calif. (April 3, 2010) – Nine different players scored and the Occidental College defense practically shut down the Caltech Beavers as the women's water polo team cruised to a 19-1 victory on the road in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play today.

Freshman Tessa Mariano-Brofferio led the offensive attack, scoring a career-high four goals, followed by hat-tricks from Tessa Bailey-Findley and Rebecca Hofer who found the back of the net on each shot she took.

Karie Nickle and Nanea Fujiyama each scored twice on just two shots apiece as well. Danielle Garcia added a pair of goals as well. Bailey Findley finished with a team-high four assists.

Defensively, Nickle came away with six steals while Bailey-Findley tallied five. Corinne Casey chipped in with four steals and Lauren Howart finished with three. In front of the cage, Rachel Adeleye blocked seven shots and allowed just one goal.

The Tigers remain undefeated in SCIAC play at 2-0 and improve to 8-13 overall. On Saturday, April 10 the Black and Orange will travel to Claremont-Mudd-Scripps to face off with the Athenas at 11:00 a.m.
