THANK YOU SENIORS
GW will celebrate Senior Day ahead of the Mount St. Mary's game on Saturday. The Buff and Blue will honor six seniors and graduate students: Luca Castorina, Michael Fearon, Viktor Jovanovic, Nik Schoening, Kalan Smith and Mateus Stellet. The group has a combined 20 seasons of experience for the Buff and Blue, and includes multiple student-athletes who have earned All-MAWPC recognitions. GW thanks these student-athletes for their contributions to Buff and Blue water polo.
ABOUT THE OPPONENTS
Wager is 15-11 overall, which includes a 6-3 record in the MAWPC. The Seahawks are looking to improve on their 1-5 record in true road games with three games away from home this weekend. Wagner will face Navy in Annapolis, Md. on Friday night, before challenging GW at the Smith Center on Saturday and finishing the regular season against Johns Hopkins in Baltimore on Sunday. Wagner won the first meeting against GW this season, 14-10, last Saturday in Staten Island.
Mount St. Mary's is 6-18 overall with an 0-9 record in the MAWPC. The Mountaineers haven't won a game since Oct. 13, which was a 17-10 win over Gannon. Mount St. Mary's also will face Johns Hopkins (Friday) and Navy (Sunday) this weekend as it closes the regular season. The Mountaineers and Revolutionaries have gone head-to-head once this season, which resulted in a 15-14 overtime win for GW on Oct. 7.
Navy comes in ranked No. 20 in the most recent CWPA rankings and is 15-5 overall with a 5-3 record in the MAWPC. The Midshipmen will face Wager (Friday), Johns Hopkins (Saturday) and Mount St. Mary's (Sunday), ahead of closing out the regular season when they host the Revolutionaries on Sunday. Navy and GW have met once already this season, which Navy won, 15-6, on Sept. 28.
UP NEXT
Upon the conclusion of the regular season, GW will receive its seeding for the MAWPC Championship Tournament, which takes place from Nov. 17-19 in Lewisburg, Pa.
