"Bucknell scouted us out and were matched up pretty well," McCreery said.
"Bucknell got us in the first couple minutes, Gertridge said, adding, "We play well once the game picks up some speed. All we need to do from now on is get the ball rolling from the opening whistle."
The Blue Jays Water Polo team is currently ranked second among division three teams, and 20th in the nation. Don't let their 2-6 record fool you, though - the Jays are taking on the division one teams like Bucknell regularly and giving those teams quite a fight.
With this challenge in mind, McCreery said, "It's been a very good experience facing D1 teams. We have a very tough schedule this year."
After a rough start, some wonder if there's hope for the rest of the season. "I prefer to be losing close games right now rather than losing them at the end of the year during championships," McCreery said.
Later in the season the Jays hope to take home the D3 title at Claremont Convergence Tournament, where they will be in for quite a challenge against the nation's top D3 water polo teams. Hopkins heads to the clear pools of New Jersey at noon on Sunday, Sept. 23 to face off against #15 Princeton. Their next home game will be on Oct. 2, versus George Washington University at 7 p.m.
