Members of the women's water polo team fared better than the men last year, ending with a 21-12 record (8-3 Ivy), and athletic officials are hoping the new coach will help the women's water polo team keep up its winning ways.

Their successes came in spite of coaching complications, as head coach Sachi Gahan left the team during the middle of its season in late March. Assistant Coach Rick Handt filled the post until the season's end, and guided the team to its strong performance and a fourth place finish at the Eastern Regional Tournament--just short of qualifying the team for the NCAA tournament.

With Floerchinger at the helm and the loss of only one player due to graduation--senior Becky Gaines--the team is likely looking forward to another successful season.
