Water Polo Sweeps The Competition At Grove City Invite
Oct. 21, 2000
Grove City, Pa. --- In a full day of competition, coach
John Ziegler's men's water polo team swept the competition winning
all three matches. With the three victories this afternoon, the
Orange and Blue improve to 17-16 overall on the season.
Leading the water polo squad in its first contest versus Slippery
Rock, freshman Jaime Saettele (St. Louis, Mo./Ladue Horton
Watkins) tallied four goals and two steals. Adding to the
Bucknell punch were seniors Tate Greditzer (St. Louis, Mo./John
Burroughs) and Kevin Permisohn (Silver Spring, Md./Springbrook)
with two goals apiece. Junior goalkeeper David Kennedy (St.
Louis, Mo./St. Louis Country Day) kept the Slippery Rock offense
at bay only allowing them four goals while making 10 saves and
four steals.
In its second victory of the day against Washington & Jefferson,
Bucknell was led by the scoring of Greditzer and sophomore Dan
Lonnerdal (Davis, Calif./Davis) with three goals each. Also
having a strong contest for the Orange and Blue was Saettele with
two goals and junior Ryan McCarty (St. Louis, Mo./St. Louis
Country Day) recording two goals and three ejections drawn.
Playing in his first game of the weekend, freshman goalkeeer Ryan
Gens (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh School) recorded 14 saves
in Bucknell's victory.
Attempting to sweep the competition in its last contest versus
Penn State-Behrend, the Bison were led to victory lane by a strong
offensive showing from freshman Scott Afzal (Ellicott City,
Md./McDonogh School). Afzal scored three goals in the game
and recorded one assist. In his second game of the day, Gens recorded
five saves in net for the Bison.
The water polo team will return to action next weekend, October
27-28, when they compete at the ECAC tournament in Princeton,
N.J.
