Weekend GW sports roundup from Nov. 5-7

There was more GW sports action than we had room for in the print edition of our paper this morning. Here’s a break down of the rest of the weekend in Colonials athletics.

Men’s and Women’s Swimming

Both the men’s and women’s swimming teams beat Drexel in a home meet at the Smith Center on Sunday. Freshman Caroline Myers was a standout for the women’s team, winning all four events in which she raced. On the men’s side, sophomore Phillip Graeter also won four events, including the 200-yard butterfly, 200-yard backstroke and the 200-yard individual medley.

Men’s Water Polo

The men’s water polo team finished sixth at the Collegiate Water Polo Association Southern Division Championships over the weekend, falling to Mercyhurst 10-8 in the fifth place game Sunday afternoon. Saturday, GW opened the tournament with a 9-8 loss to Johns Hopkins followed by an 8-7 win over Gannon to advance to the fifth place game. GW took a 5-3 lead into halftime against Mercyhurst in that contest, but the Lakers outscored the Colonials 4-2 in the fourth quarter to earn the win.

Men’s and Women’s Squash

Both squash teams swept their counterparts from Vassar 9-0 Saturday. All but one Colonials player swept his or her opponent 3-0 in the GW victories.

Men’s Rowing

The men’s rowing team finished fourth out of seven teams at the Rutgers Fall Classic in New Jersey Saturday. GW’s two boats finished the 2.5 mile course in 29 minutes and 23 seconds, behind first place Navy, second place Columbia and third place Pennsylvania.

Women’s Rowing

The women’s rowing team entered just one boat in the Head of the Occoquan race in Woodbridge, Va., over the weekend and placed seventh in that race. The Colonials’ novice eight-person boat completed the course in 20 minutes and 17 seconds, seventh best out of the 25 competing teams.
