ANNAPOLIS, MD. By some thinking it was a meaningless early-season match between two teams that had struggled mightily in 2018\u2014and may do so again this season. With just three wins between them a year ago\u2014and a combined 38 losses\u2014Austin College<\/a> and La Salle<\/a> would not typically be compelling combatants, especially with #3 Stanford and #2 UCLA in the water at the 2019 Navy Invite.<\/p>\n

But, in an entertaining contest that saw the Kangaroos of Austin twice jump out to three goal leads, it was the Explorers that enjoyed the last sprint\u2014and who came away with a compelling 14-11 win on Saturday at Lejeune Aquatics Center.<\/p>\n

Mismatches aplenty\u2014except when two young programs meet<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With two of the nation\u2019s top three teams in from California, accomplished East Coast programs like host Navy, Princeton and Fordham as well as schools with higher aspirations including Austin, Iona, Johns Hopkins and La Salle, the competition last weekend at Navy was decidedly mixed. Stanford won all four if its games by a cumulative score of 90-14; UCLA\u2019s four-match sweep resulted in a slightly less impressive 69-17 difference. In 18 matches over two days, only one was competitive.<\/p>\n

That La Salle vs. Austin was the weekend\u2019s most compelling game might not come as a surprise if you know their respective histories. These two teams were not just evenly matched, but\u2014given last year\u2019s dearth of success\u2014both were acutely aware that victories are hard to come by. This made it surprising that Austin quickly broke out to an early 3-0 lead on two scores by Robert Griffin<\/strong> and one by Max Wade<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Undeterred, Daniel Domotor<\/strong>, Derek Allen<\/strong> and Joey De Fusco<\/strong> of La Salle immediately answered back to tie the game at three. But Austin again went ahead on a pair of goals by Brett Skinner<\/strong> and another score by Allen, an impressive freshman for the Kangaroos, making it 6-3 for and Austin program which in its first season went 1-15.<\/p>\n

The Kangaroos\u2019 head coach, Mark Lawrence<\/strong>\u2014an imposing figure who strides vigorously around the pool deck\u2014was optimistic about his young team\u2019s prospects this season, and how valuable game-time experience is for them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of our guys are playing their first college minutes this weekend, and how they\u2019re playing for what their experience is, it\u2019s fantastic,\u201d he said after the game. \u201cOur guys listen really well, they try had and they\u2019re committed.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other side of the pool was La Salle\u2019s Tom Hyham<\/strong>. While not as imposing as the 6-5 Lawrence, the Explorer coach was equally engaged with his players. He also was respectful of an opponent that was very much the equal of his squad, which now a total of twelve wins in its fourth year of existence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re well-coached, so we knew we were going to have our work cut out for us\u2014especially considering we\u2019re still ramping up on our talent level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite again facing a daunting deficit, the Explorers did not panic. After a couple of big stops by Austin goalie Zach Griffith<\/strong>, La Salle broke through as Domotor scored on the power play with a minute left before halftime.<\/p>\n

The junior opened the scoring after intermission, converting on a five-meter penalty to reduce his team\u2019s deficit to one. DeFusco then beat Griffith on a skip to tie the game at six\u2014part of a five-goal explosion by the Explorers that turned a three-goal deficit into a two-goal lead, as center Tyler Williams<\/strong> and Cole Strohson<\/strong> connected.<\/p>\n

The Kangaroos were not done yet, rallying for a tie behind scores from Will Koelzer<\/strong> and Evan Cueva<\/strong>. It was a memorable goal for Cueva; the freshman from Ontario, California celebrating his birthday that day.<\/p>\n

Jorden McVeagh<\/strong> scored to make it 9-8 La Salle, but Cade Griffith<\/strong>\u2014twin brother of goalie Zach\u2014got the equalizer for Austin with 25 seconds left in the period.<\/p>\n

Somebody has to lose<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The final period would prove decisive for the Explorers\u2014and devastating for the Kangaroos. La Salle opened with two goals by Williams, the second punctuated by an in-pool celebration\u2014but Austin struck back quickly. Andrew Pope<\/strong>, the Kangroos\u2019 leading scorer in 2018, connected on a five-meter penalty, then Griffin completed his hat trick with a blast past La Salle goalie Cameron Schiable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That goal turned out to be Austin\u2019s last score of the evening.<\/p>\n

De Fusco, who leads the Explorers in the pool, broke the tie for the final time by scoring from six meters halfway through the final period.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s one of our top players, and the reason he\u2019d be considered that is because of his water polo IQ,\u201d his coach said. \u201cHe\u2019s a leader in the water, and without him we don\u2019t win that game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The La Salle captain then delivered a brilliant pass to Strohson to put his team up by two goals with less than two minutes to play. Williams completed the scoring\u2014and a hat trick of his own\u2014by converting a rebound with 46 seconds remaining, giving La Salle a 14-11 lead and a thrilling comeback win.<\/p>\n

Hyham, who did not get his first win with the program until his team’s tenth match last season, had achieved the feat far earlier in a season that feels entirely different than last.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a senior class [this year]. We have guys who feel they are leaders on the team,\u201d he said, then added: \u201c[T]hey can make adjustments in the water without me having to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Lawrence and his team, now 0-5 on the season, there were lessons learned the hard way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re disappointed to lose but it\u2019s a great game for our young players to learn: when you force 50\/50 opportunities, they can backfire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
