M. Water Polo Tunes Up for Northerns; Wins 2

By Martin S. Bell, Crimson Staff Writer

Tselentis is recovering well, but his status for this weekend's tournament is doubtful.

"He was in no condition to play tonight," Floerchinger said. "He's been resting a lot, as you'd expect. We don't expect to see him this weekend."

Last night, Bliesath showed that, if called upon, he can capably spell junior keeper Gresham Bayne. He shut out the Big Green for the first quarter and made several highlight-reel stops, including foiling a one-on-none attempt in the closing seconds.

"I could see Gresham going the whole weekend," Elke said. "But Josh's performance was still great, in a nostalgic way."

Bliesath's good work in goal was more than enough to support the dominant Harvard offense. Junior Mike Crosby led a balanced attack that featured seven different Crimson scorers.

The first game against BC did not start out promisingly. The Eagles, who will fall to club status next year mostly due to a lack of funding, have been making the most of their final games in the varsity class. Harvard only beat them by three goals earlier in October and experienced another sluggish start last night, managing only two scores in the first quarter. Both were the handiwork of sophomore driver Mike Masterson.

BC showed its mettle in the second quarter, outscoring the Crimson 2-1. Harvard's attack was actually much crisper than it had been in the first frame, as the defense created a fair number of counterattack opportunities.
