Michigan Water Polo Wins Western Division Title

GROVE CITY, Pennsylvania, April 21. IT only took 10:16 for the No. 11-ranked University of Michigan water polo team to build the lead necessary to clinch its seventh-straight division title Saturday night (April 19). The Wolverines knocked off No. 18-ranked Indiana 11-3 in the final round of the CWPA Western Division Championship at the Grove City College Pool.

Junior Sharayah Hernandez (Pico Rivera, Calif./El Rancho) scored twice, both in the first two minutes of the contest. Junior goalkeeper Brittany May (Santa Barbara, Calif./Santa Barbara) sparkled to a six stop performance in the cage, holding the Hoosiers scoreless in the first half while the Wolverines built an insurmountable lead.

The Wolverine defense turned in one of the strongest outings of the season, committing a program-record 31 thefts led by sophomore Leah Robertson's (Newport Beach, Calif./Newport Harbor) five and freshman Alison Mantel's (Miami, Fla./Gulliver) four.
