Men's Water Polo Lands Transfer

LEWISBURG, Pa.- Bucknell men's water polo announced the addition of transfer Ioannis Egnatiadis from St. Francis Brooklyn on Wednesday. He joins the three players from Head Coach John McBride's recruiting class for the upcoming 2023 season.

Egnatiadis, an attacker, joins the Bison from St. Francis Brooklyn. The New York school recently announced it was disbanding all its Division I athletic teams, necessitating Egnatiadis' departure. He will be entering his sophomore season.

He hails from Athens, Greece, and played his scholastic water polo at the Second Lyceum of Vrilissia. Panathinaikos, his club team, won several first-place titles in the Greek league. Egnatiadis and team success go hand-in-hand. His teams won first and second place in the Greek Division II League. His squad placed first at the U15 European Championship, and in the U17 competition, they finished fourth.

Egnatiadis played a pivotal role in St. Francis Brooklyn, earning the second seed in the Northeast Water Polo Championship (NWPC). The Terriers battled Princeton in the title game and lost 13-8.

The Bucknell men's water polo team returns to action this fall.
