The Penn State Behrend men's water polo squad traveled to Johns
Hopkins University to participate in the Division III Eastern
Championships on October 25 and 26 and snagged a third place
finish. The blue and white started out by smacking
Connecticut College 21-12 in the first match of the
championships. Behrend then dropped a 5-20 decision to host
Johns Hopkins and fell short against MIT, losing a hardfought 15-20
matchup. Behrend would rebound in its final match at the
championships and secure a 12-9 win over Washington &
Jefferson.
Behrend sophomore Jon Bacon (Glendale, CA/Crespi Carmelite) and
junior Matt Pluta (Erie/Cathedral Prep) were
selected to the all-tournament second-team. Pluta slammed
home 13 goals over the four matches while Bacon found the back of
the net 12 times for the blue and white.
Head coach Joe Tristan said, "The guys played four great games as a
team, and I can't ask for anything more. We converted on
offense and defense and made great choices. Our goal was to
finish in the top three and we accomplished that. Now our
focus will be on preparing for the Southern Division
Championships."
Penn State Behrend men's water polo will compete to in the Southern
Division Championships November 7 and 8 hosted at Princeton
University with opponents to be determined.
