Iona Water Polo Drops Opening Conference Game

Box Score
POUGHKEEPSIE, NY - The Iona Gaels women's water polo team opened conference play suffer a defeat to Mount St. Mary's 9-8 hosted by Marist College.  

Mount St. Mary's 9 Iona 8

Gaels defense started off strong holding the opposition to one goal in the first quarter, the offense did not capitalize on the strong defense as they only found the back of the net twice holding a one goal lead entering the second quarter. The defense was just as strong in the second as it was in the first, holding them to one goal again. The offense extended their lead to three taking a 5-2 lead into the halftime break. Both the Mounts and the Gaels defenses were the strongest all game in the third quarter, both teams combined for one goal with the Mountaineers closing the gap to two goals entering the final quarter. The Mount's offense exploded in the final eight minutes, out-scoring the Maroon & Gold 6-3, and completing the comeback victory 9-8.
