STANFORD, Calif. - The Stanford women's water polo team (3-1) took third place in the 2004 Stanford Invitational after downing Cal 7-4 at the Avery Aquatic Center on Sunday. USC took this year's championship title with a 12-4 victory over UCLA in the final game.
Stanford freshman goalkeeper Meridith McColl tallied nine saves against the Golden Bears, including five in the third period. The Cardinal closed out the first period in a 1-1 tie after scores from Stanford's Katie Hansen and Cal's Elsie Windes.
