ERIE, PA - History in the making! Gannon defeated Mercyhurst to go 3-0 at the WWPA Erie Classic. But, that was the second most important thing to happen during the morning: their captain and offensive stalwart etched his name in GU water polo lore on Sunday.
THE KNIGHT CAP
-
He Stands Alone: Alexandros Kotskar (Voula, Greece/Athinaiki Agogh) is atop the Gannon men's water polo mountain. The senior quickly found the scoresheet twice to become the programs record holder for career points, with 363. He passes Charles Doane, who had held the record (362) since 2006.
-
Balanced scoring: For the third straight game in the WWPA Erie Classic, double digit attackers found the back of the net at least once. Kotskar's historic day led the way, finishing with eight goals and ten points.
-
Everyone Involved: Gannon split goaltending time today between starter Bator Mohacsi (Budapest, Hungary/) and Hewson Morphy (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep), who played the second half. Throughout the tournament, all Gannon netminders played at least one half.
-
How Sweep It Is: Gannon took all three games they played at the WWPA Erie Classic, and helped bolster their record along the way. GU is now 6-6 as they head into the second half of the season.
THE NEXT GAME
Gannon will get a week off before making the trip to O'Fallon, IL for the WWPA Bearcat Clash. Their first game, against Salem, is October 11th at 10:00 am.
