Navy Water Polo Breezes Past Iona in CWPA Opening Round

Nov. 16, 2007

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The No. 10-ranked Navy water polo team started slow, but had a strong second quarter to breeze past Iona, 12-3, in the opening game of the CWPA Eastern Championship on Friday morning. The win was Navy's 17th in a row and pushed the Mids' record to 27-5.

Navy led just 1-0 after one quarter, but stretched the lead to 6-1 at halftime by outscoring the Gaels, 5-1, in the second quarter. Aaron Recko led the Mids with three goals, while Michael Mulvey and Andrew Bingham scored a pair each. Bram Arnold, Tyler Hill, John Connors, Nick Mansfield and Luke Baldwin all scored one goal for Mike Schofield's squad.

George Naughton played the first two-and-a-half quarters in goal, registering eight saves while allowing just two goals. Steve Craney came on in reserve and stopped seven shots while allowing one goal.

Navy will now play the winner of Brown and George Washington in Saturday's semifinals at 6:30 pm on Saturday evening.
