M. Water Polo Shines in Opening Contests

"One of our strengths this year is that we are able to play really deep into our roster," said two-meter defenseman Alex P. Fisher.

Junior goalkeeper Gresham Bayne recorded 12 saves-including one off a penalty shot-in the winning effort.

Before the Crimson had a chance to dry off, it was back in the pool to face an old nemesis. The last time Harvard beat Brown in a regular season contest its freshmen were eating in the Union Building, now known as the Barker Center.

This year, however, the Crimson managed to break the Bears curse by again relying on its impressive depth at each position and its watertight defense.

"Simply put, we wore them out," Floerchinger said.

Five different players scored Harvard's nine goals as Bayne was again resilient in net with nine saves.

After the emotional win over Brown, Harvard turned its attention to cross-town rival MIT, who had also beaten Brown earlier in the day.
