PRINCETON, N.J. - The George Washington University water polo team was not able to keep pace with a pair of ranked opponents at the Princeton Invitational, falling 22-7 to No. 7 Pacific in the early game on Saturday and 16-10 to No. 15 Harvard on Saturday night.
GW 7, NO. 7 PACIFIC 22
The Revolutionaries went down early against the seventh-ranked team in the country on Saturday afternoon and the hole proved too steep to climb out from. Pacific led 6-2 after the first quarter and 11-4 at the half, and allowed just three Buff & Blue goals in the second half on their way to the 22-7 win. Yam Kabakov, Adonis Vlassis and Andrija Sekulic paced GW's offense with two goals apiece.
GW 10, NO. 15 HARVARD 16
The GW Revs came out strong against No. 15 Harvard but couldn't keep pace as the Crimson downed GDUB in the late game on Saturday. The Revolutionaries kept up with Harvard for much of the first half and were tied 5-5 midway through the second quarter, but an 8-0 run for Harvard that stretched into the third quarter wound up being the difference. Sekulic, Vlassis, Joseph McCreary and Andrei Khudiakov each had two goals for the Revolutionaries.
UP NEXT
The Revolutionaries will play four games in the coming week in Northern California. GW opens the week at San Jose State (2:00 p.m. ET) on Thursday, and continues play with games at Fresno Pacific (4:00 p.m. ET) and UC Merced (10:00 p.m. ET) on Friday before finishing the west coast trip at Santa Clara (3:00 p.m. ET) on Saturday.
