ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Bucknell senior men's water polo player Ryan McCarty (St. Louis, Mo./St. Louis Country Day School) scored four of Bucknell's six goals, but it was not enough as the Navy Midshipmen defeated the Bison, 8-6, in Southern Division Championship action on Saturday evening. The tournament is being held at Navy on Friday-Sunday, November 2-4.

In addition to his four scores, McCarty also doled out one assist and had one ejection drawn against the 12th-ranked Mids. Sophomore Jamie Saettele (St. Louis, Mo./Ladue Horton Watkins) got involved offensively, scoring once and recording a team-high three assists.
