WASHINTON, D.C.--- On March 25-26, in a CWPA League Tournament at George Washington University, the No. 18 nationally ranked Villanova women's water polo team finished the weekend with a 3-1 record to improve the Wildcats' season mark to 13-7.

Against the host Colonials of GW, Villanova got five goals and three steals by Erin Agee en route to a 14-9 victory. Giving the Wildcat offense a boost as well were Sharon Fuller, Joie Marhefka and Carrie Boyle who each netted two goals. Senior co-captain Brigitte Bayster led the `Nova attack with six assists. Getting the win in goal was sophomore Carly Sproul who had four blocks.
