George Washington Uses Fourth Quarter Rally to Slip Past Men's Water Polo

9/27/2025 1:15:00 PM | Men's Water Polo

ARLINGTON, Va.- Bucknell (4-8, 1-2 MAWPC) led 13-11 entering the fourth period but were held scoreless by a determined George Washington (5-8, 1-0 MAWPC) squad to drop its second conference game of the season on Saturday afternoon.

Jack Murad led the Bison scorers with three goals.

The first quarter gave spectators the signs of a high-scoring affair with the teams combining for 11 goals. Bucknell edged George Washington 6-5 in the tally department.

The Bison extended its lead to 8-5 but, like their namesake, the Revolutionaries proved best when facing the odds and fought back to within one goal. Bucknell used a Sean Tunnicliff goal for the 10-8 halftime lead.

George Washington rocketed ahead 11-10 on a 3-0 run in the third quarter. Bucknell, trailing for the first time all game, responded with its own 3-0 stretch to regain the lead heading into the final stanza.

The fourth quarter, like 1781, belonged to George Washington. The Revolutionaries scored four goals and kept Bucknell away from the cage for the 15-11 conference victory.

Bucknell finishes the weekend tomorrow at Navy in another MAWPC game.
