KENOSHA, Wis. - The Austin College women's water polo team completed a dominant season with a Collegiate Water Polo Association Division III Championship on Sunday, as the 'Roos blasted Wittenberg 20-6 to capture the young program's first conference title.

The 'Roos finish the season with a record of 6-2, with their only two losses coming against NCAA Division I competition. On Sunday, Austin College put a capper on its Division III slate, in which the 'Roos outscored their four opponents 81-21 this season, with its emphatic performance against the Tigers. Madison Taylor was named the Player of the Tournament while head coach Mark Lawrence brought home Coach of the Tournament accolades. 

Taylor scored three goals for Austin College in the victory a day after tallying four in the semifinal game, and Austin College blitzed the Tigers early on their way to a 7-0 lead after the opening quarter. The lead grew to eight at 11-3 at halftime, and Austin College entered the fourth quarter with a 17-3 cushion.
