Long Beach, Calif. - Branwyn Lee and Meaghan Leonard each scored a goal as the women's water polo lost to the top-ranked Stanford Cardinal, 7-2, Saturday at the Long Beach State Campus Pool.
Stanford (16-1) scored the first three goals before Lee got the Beach on the board with a goal with 2:12 left in the first period in front of the Cardinal net on a nice one-time pass.
The Cardinal scored another three goals over the course of the second and third periods before the 49ers Meaghan Leonard scored the final goal for the Beach with 3:24 left in the game on another fine pass trimming the lead to 6-2.
