Penn State Behrend Struggles Continue Against Gannon
The Penn State Behrend men's water polo began a two game home stand on
Friday night against cross town rival Gannon University.
The Behrend Lions entered the evenings match 2-8 on the year.
The blue and white came out strong against the Golden Knights. The Behrend Lions found themselves down 7-3 at half. The blue and white came out with a fury of goals to bring the game within two. Matt Pluta (Erie/Cathedral Prep) led the Behrend Lions with three goal. However, the Golden Knights would not let the Behrend Lions back into the game. Jon Bacon (Glendale, CA/Crespi Carmelite) chipped in two goals for the blue and white. That would not be enough.
