Quietly, Water Polo has had a decent year

[txram]

Losing by one goal in 2 OTs to #20 Johns Hopkins in the Eastern Championships is a good showing.
The team is 14-14 overall and 5-1 in conference and Coach Harris was named the Northern Division Coach of the year.  Ali Arat was named Northern Division Rookie of the Year and first team All-North.  Mikey Edwarda and Ryan Hultman made second team.
Looking at the roster, there's not a Northeastener in the bunch.
Having tried playing even back when I was in semi-good shape, one has to hand it to the conditioning of any player in this sport.

They really did have a great year and yesterday afternoon's game against Johns Hopkins was the best of the first round at Easterns. 

Winning a share of their regular season conference championship and getting all of these honors really shows that the program is on the rise.  They lose one senior in Andrew Dentinger although he was an important one (very good lefty and having a good lefty is important in water polo).  Congratulations to the squad and I can't wait for next season.

Congrats to the team! And yes, the "smaller" sports need to be publicized far better than they have been - it is positive news, and that can only help the University and the sports program.

Rams beat Brown 8-7(the first time since 1980) to finish 5th in the Eastern Championships, the highest finish in 22 years.  Freshman Ali Arat had 4 of our goals.  We finished the season 16-14, 5-1.  Nice going guys.
