Varsity Water Polo v. Williston Northampton

It was another rousing performance from the young men of Eaglebrook’s Varsity Water Polo team. This week, Varsity faced a tough opponent in Williston North Hampton. Williston struck early, scoring three goals in the first quarter. In the second, Eaglebrook’s Dustin Lee fired back with a goal of his own, breaking away from his defender and earning a one-on-one shot against the rival keeper. Lee ended the game with two goals. Egor Cherenkov, goalie for Eaglebrook, stood his ground nobly against the Williston offense, allowing no goals in the second. He would finish with seven saves on the day. In a high-scoring third quarter, Eaglebrook’s Brandon Liao sped past defenders to score one, while Williston answered with three more. Liao’s exceptional effort included a number of offensive breakaways and hit a high point in the third quarter with a swift backhand shot on Williston’s shallow-end goal. Eaglebrook came out shooting in the fourth, with goals from Liao, Ernesto Brown, and Jordan Haney. Despite a valiant effort late in the game, Eaglebrook failed to make up the difference in the end, and Williston won the day in a final score of eight goals to six.
