GANNON FINISHES SEVENTH AT CWPA
SOUTHERN DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIPS
     
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The Gannon men’s water polo team finished seventh Sunday afternoon at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division Championships hosted by the U.S. Naval Academy. The seventh-place finish tied the program’s best finish ever at the CWPA Southern Division Championships.
   
Paul Musille (Canton, Ohio/Glen Oak) and Richie DiLoreto (Erie, Pa./McDowell) each produced hat tricks as Gannon earned a 13-11 victory over Washington & Jefferson in the seventh-place match. It was the squad’s fourth victory in as many matches against W&J this season.
   
Gannon jumped out to a 5-3 lead after one quarter and went to halftime with a slim 7-6 edge. The Golden Knights increased the lead to 11-9 after three quarters before both teams score twice in the final frame.
   
Greg Naranjo (Coral Springs, Fla./Stoneman Douglas) and Dmitriy Simonoff (Vernon Hills, Ill./Stevenson) tallied two goals each. John Krakowski (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep), Zach Dusckas (Erie, Pa./McDowell), and Stephen Espinet (Port of Spain, Trinidad/Maple Leaf) added one score apiece. Brandon Thomas (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep) recorded 13 saves in goal.
   
Gannon concluded its season at 13-9 while Washington & Jefferson ended at 8-14. The Golden Knights have recorded a winning record four times in their seven-year history.
