Lewisburg, PA – The No. 18 Wagner men's water polo team (6-6; 3-1 MAWPC) fell to No. 15 Bucknell on Saturday evening with a final score of 18-9.

A pair of Serbian Seahawks combined for the first goal of the game as freshman driver Vuk Bulajic dished a pass to sophomore driver Jasmin Kolasinac when he found the back of the net to set the score at 1-0 to begin the game.

The first quarter included back and forth offensive efforts from both the Green & White and the Bison, resulting in a 4-4 stalemate. Kolasinac added his second goal of the game as senior utility Devin O'Donnell and senior driver Cole Grady each contributed one goal apiece at the end of the first.

During the second stanza, Bucknell began to take the lead, with back to back goals before Kolasinac found his third goal, securing a hat trick and cutting the Bison lead to 1 at 6-5. However, Bucknell added three additional goals to gain a 9-5 lead at the conclusion of the first half.

The Bison added to their lead with four more goals before sophomore lefty Jack Leighton notched his first goal of the game. Bulajic and Kolasinac added one additional goal each, as Wagner was down 14-8 heading into the fourth and final period.

Senior driver Teo Dadic was the lone Seahawk to score in the final stanza. Four more Bison goals secured the win for Bucknell with a final score of 18-9.

With the loss, the Green & White fall to 6-6 overall and 3-1 in MAWPC play as Bucknell improves to 12-2 overall and 6-1 in conference play.

Wagner is back in action tomorrow, October 7 as they take on La Salle University at 11:00 a.m.
