The boys’ water polo team has struggled to find victory this season, holding a 1-7 league record as of Oct. 16. Nonetheless, players such as junior Andrew Gao said the team is seeing progress.

“We put a lot of work in at practices, but our coach has been pushing us to learn more about the ins and outs of the game by ourselves, through watching more water polo and reading more about it,” he said.

Though the record might say otherwise, Gao said that the team’s power continues to be strong.

Though the outcome of many of the team’s efforts during games still resulted in losses, Gao said that in particular junior hole defender Ryan Busse has done quite well for the team.

“[Busse] been putting in a lot of work since [the] team is generally pretty small, so he can guard the large people playing hole set on the other teams,” Gao said.
