Diving across the goal, Tiaare Ahovelo is trying her best to keep her team in the game, but to no avail.
Two huge penalty saves in the fourth period couldn’t stop the No. 13 Indiana Hoosier women’s water polo team from claiming a 15-7 win over No. 24 San Diego State on Saturday, March 9.
“Penalties are usually almost a guaranteed goal,” said head coach Dana Ochsner. “She blocked three yesterday and two or three today. She’s protecting her house, that’s all I can ask of a goalie.”
Ahovelo, a sophomore from New Zealand, had a strong start at the Aztec Aquaplex over the weekend’s Aztec Invitational.
