Water polo: Boiler Invite

So today marks day one of the Boiler Invite, which is the Purdue Men’s water polo tournament. It is obviously a lesser known sporting event on campus and I believe the team deserves at least a little recognition every once in while. The started the tournament off this morning at 8 o’clock with a game against Iowa. What they thought would be an easy win turned out to be a brutal battle that they lost. Due to the loss of a starter in the 2nd quarter of the game, things didn’t go quite the way they planned. This lose came as a shock to the men and. The men’s B- team with a little help from a couple of the Purdue Women’s team members, played Indiana University and University of Illinois and lost to both teams. Later in the day, the men’s A team played Illinois B team and won. Later tonight, both the A teams and the B team will be playing at 8 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively. Tomorrow the final games will be played however not much is expected out of the Boilermaker’s because of their early lose to Iowa. Grand Valley is expected to take the title but upsets are always a possibility.
