KENOSHA, Wisc. — The Monmouth College Fighting Scots slugged it out with 2017 Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Division III Champion/Division III No. 9-ranked Macalester College, Carthage College and McKendree University, but was outpointed in each at the 2018 Carthage College Tournament.
The Scots fell behind early in the opener, a 9-5 loss to Macalester on Saturday, February 24.
Trailing 4-0 late in the first half, Becca Dabrowski broke the ice for Monmouth with 15 seconds left before the break. Monmouth closed to within one on freshman Miranda Pasky‘s first career goal, cutting the margin to 6-5 midway through the fourth quarter.
Monmouth followed the opener with a 7-3 loss in the nightcap to host Carthage.
Pasky netted her second goal of the day as the Scots took a 1-0 lead in the final minute of the first quarter. The hosts knotted the score as the second quarter opened and took a 2-1 lead in the final two minutes of the half and held off the Scots the rest of the way.
Dabrowski opened the scoring in the getaway game on Sunday, February 25 – a 17-7 loss to McKendree. Dabrowski scored just two minutes into the game, but McKendree took the lead two minutes later and used a big second and third quarter to run away with the contest.
