Good luck Pittsburgh at the water polo tournament in Cincinnati

0  comments

The local players, with help from others from around the region, are playing in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The boys squad has two players from Texas, a player from Toledo, and a couple from Maryland too. Of course, Erie is well represented as well. Plenty of the girls players join the Pittsburgh kids from central Pennsylvania.

The photo above shows the two-time victors of the tournament from July 2014. Updates to this thread are expected with tweets from Moose Water Polo.

Score: 5-3, Pittsburgh up, early in the 2nd half over last year’s runner ups, Windy City. Two good teams. Windy City got the last goal on a 5-meter shot. Earlier goals came with the man-up advantage.

Heading into the 4th, leads 3-8. Goalies are the big deal this game. Both sides are being rock solid.

Game 2 for the weekend ends and Tigers up, 10-5, to Windy City. Next to the brackets.

Semi final win, 18-4 over St. X. Tigers to finals to play the team it faced earlier in the weekend in pool play and also in last year’s finals, Windy City.

Charles, the Tiger’s Goalie, is on fire, so say the reports!

Finals: Tiger wins, 13-7 boys championship game and claims the third title in 3 years.
