Water Polo Celebrates Seniors with Win Over Loyola

Water Polo is heading into the final stretch of its season with one goal in mind: securing a second consecutive Easterns Championship.

 

Last weekend, the team traveled to Pennsylvania for a two-game slate. Against The Hill School, the Eagles dropped a hard-fought match 16–12 that remained tied heading into the fourth quarter. Jack Singleton '29 led the offense with seven goals, while Captain Kasper Parfomak '27 added four. Beau Gendell '30 contributed a goal alongside three steals. Gonzaga bounced back in its next matchup against Haverford, earning a decisive 15–6 victory. Singleton and Parfomak scored six goals apiece, while John Stubner '27 dished out three assists and recorded four steals.

 

On Monday, the Eagles hosted Loyola for a highly anticipated Senior Night match, earning a 22–16 win in front of a great home crowd. Goalie Chase Hutto '28 anchored the defense with seven saves, three assists, and three steals. Parfomak poured in eight goals and drew five ejections, Singleton tallied seven goals and four assists, and defender Jackson Saloom '30 registered a goal and four steals. Stubner added two goals, two assists, and two field blocks to round out the team performance.
