Coming off another successful season last year, the Bowdoin Water Polo team is preparing for another onslaught in its quest for this year's league championship. With the addition of many first-years who complement the staunch block of upper-class stalwarts, including co-captains Matt Loosigian '02 and David Harden '02, the Water Polo team is looking forward to meeting its rivals.
The first test of the season comes this weekend, when the team will travel to Colby College for the first of three tournaments scheduled this fall.
"We have a strong team this year," said Loosigian. "We got lots of new star players who will boost us to the championship."
This weekend, Bowdoin will go head to head against Bates, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Holy Cross, and Colby.
After last year's 7-4 season, the team is looking forward to unseating Bates as the Divisional Champion. Three of last year's four losses were to Bates, including one in the Division Champion Finals.
Under the direction of coach and former Turkish water polo champion Burcay Gurcan, the team looks towards winning the Championship Tournament, the first of which Bowdoin hosted and competed in during the 1999 season. Look for this team to blow its competition out of the water, literally.
