SPRINGFIELD, Va. - The No. 20 George Washington University water polo team split games on Saturday, falling to No. 2 (T) Fordham, 19-5, before coming back to beat Wagner later in overtime, 8-7.Â
No. 20 GW 5, No. 2 (T) Fordham 19
The Revolutionaries faced off against the top team in the MAWPC, undefeated and nationally second-ranked Fordham, in the early game and they weren't able to conquer the giants from the Bronx as GW fell, 19-5. The Rams took it to GW early and led 7-3 at halftime, before scoring six goals and shutting out GW in the third. Fordham's goal-streak continued into the fourth, building a 16-3 lead before finishing off the match at 19-5.
Andrija Sekulic (2), Antonio Florena (2) and Adonis Vlassis (1) were the goal scorers for GW.Â
No. 20 8 GW, Wagner 7
After a Senior Night ceremony to honor seniors Leo Lueddemann and Sekulic, the GW Revs came back for the night game to face off against Wagner, a team they beat 13-12 earlier in the season. It was a low-scoring affair, with GW leading 4-2 at half at 6-3 at the end of the third quarter, but a 3-0 run for Wagner in the fourth quarter sent the game to overtime. In the extra frame, GW turned to its graduating senior Sekulic to find the game-winner.
Sekulic led the way for the Revolutionaries with four goals in the match.

First, GW hosts Johns Hopkins at Long Bridge Park on Friday (7:30 p.m.), then on Saturday the Revolutionaries head back to Annapolis, the site of the upcoming MAWPC Championship, for the regular-season finale at Navy (10:00 a.m.).Â
