PRINCETON, N.J. - Sophomore Bradley Roslyn scored a squad-best four goals against Gannon, leading the Bucknell men's water polo team to a 14-12 victory over the Golden Knights at Southern Division Inter-regional competition at Princeton on Saturday, October 18.
The Bison snuck by Gannon, despite a nine-goal performance from the Golden Knights' Charles Doane.
In addition to Roslyn's four goals, seven other players scored for Bucknell. Juniors Jay Danforth, Nick Ferring and Aaron Platshon all had two goals a piece, while senior Scott Afzal, junior Paul Yerkes, and sophomores Brad Unroe and Lars Weborg scored once in the game.
