WASHINGTON - The George Washington water polo team is gearing up for a pair of MAWPC road games this Saturday. The Revolutionaries will begin the day in Lewisburg, Pa., to face Bucknell (11 a.m.) before traveling to Emmitsburg, Md., to battle Mount St. Mary's (7 p.m.). Stream links for this weekend can be found on the schedule page.
STANDINGS UPDATE
At 2-3, GW is in fifth place in the MAWPC with four points - just behind Bucknell and Wagner, who also have four points but hold better records. Fordham sits atop the conference at 7-0 with 14 points, while Navy follows in second at 3-2 with six points. All seven teams make the MAWPC Championship, which will be held Nov. 17-19, in Lewisburg, Pa.
ABOUT THE OPPONENTS
The Bison, who received votes in the most recent CWPA Top 20, are 5-8 on the season and 2-2 in conference, which includes a 13-11 win over GW back on Sept. 23. Bucknell is 1-2 this year playing in its home pool, Kinney Natatorium, where GW will look to steal a win on Saturday.
Mount St. Mary's is 5-11 this season, which includes an 0-2 mark in the MAWPC. The Mountaineers went 1-3 last weekend in California, with a win over Westcliff but losses to Chapman, Air Force and Biola.
Mount St. Mary's will host Bucknell on Friday evening and Wagner on Saturday morning ahead of facing GW on Saturday night.
LOOKING AHEAD
GW will break from MAWPC play for the final time following Saturday's matches to play in the Harvard Invitational.
