BRIDGEPORT, Pa. – The Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) announced its weekly award winners and Navy goalkeeper Ryan Much was selected as the Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts last weekend. The junior helped Navy to a 1-1 record on the road over the weekend – dropping a close game to #5 Fordham (L, 16-13) and defeating Wagner (W, 11-9).
 
Munch finished with 15 saves in five quarters of action. The goalie had the best +/- on the team over the weekend (+11.5). He had seven saves against nationally-ranked and league-leading Fordham in three quarters of action. Against Wagner, Munch split time with fellow goalie Jack Rodoni with Munch finishing with eight stops and just five goals allowed in two quarters of work. Additionally, Munch added a steal in each contest.
 
Up next, the Midshipmen step out of conference to play in the Brown / Harvard Invitational. Navy will take on Harvard (Saturday, 10:30 a.m.) and LIU (Saturday, 4:30 a.m.) in Cambridge, Mass., before concluding the weekend against Brown (Sunday, 11:30 a.m.) in Providence, R.I.
