VILLANOVA, Pa. - Sophomore Katie Hartigan scored three goals, and classmate Cody Keffer tallied twice, but it was not enough for the Bucknell women's water polo team as it fell to George Washington, 8-7, on Saturday, March 29. The contest was the first of the weekend at the second set of Southern Division League Games at Villanova.
The Orange and Blue fell into a 3-1 hole after one quarter, before coming back to make it a 5-4 game at halftime. Both teams scored twice in the third, and once in the fourth for the 8-7 final. The Bison never led in the game, playing catch-up the whole time.
