M. Water Polo Places Third at Easterns

After a night of sleep, Harvard rebounded Sunday afternoon against the St. Francis. The score was tied 4-4 at the midway mark, but in the second half, Harvard dominated the game. The Crimson never trailed and came out on top 8-7.

“We really came together as a team for two and a half of the games,” Crosby said. “I think that Harvard made some big steps in establishing ourselves as a great team this year.”

Overall, the team said it was ecstatic about the season. With the addition of volunteer assistant coach Omar Amr, Harvard made great strides in 2001.

Amr is a member of the United States National Team and is a first-year student at Harvard Medical School.

“The greatest gift to our team has been Omar Amr,” Cheng said. “He’s a lot more than the words ‘volunteer assistant’ say—he’s the heart of the team.”

At the end of the tournament it was announced that both Cheng and co-captain Gresham Bayne received First Team All-East honors.

Cheng and Bayne were two of nine seniors who played their final game yesterday.

“I’m already missing the season because I feel like we made some major steps and really surprised a lot of people,” Crosby said. “It was a great end to my four-year career.”
