Harvard water polo scored two upsets Friday night at Brown, but the squad splashed down to earth the next day, absorbing a 23-3 loss to Stanford.
Unable to play at home because of repairs going on at Blodgett Pool, the aquamen opened against Fordham in Providence, R.I. Propelled by six goals from sophomore Courtney Roberts, they coasted to a surprising 14-7 win over last year's number-three Eastern team.
In the nightcap, Harvard had similar success against Bucknell, number one in the East last year. Rich "Wall" Reid thwarted Bucknell's offense, and Houston Hall chipped in three goals in a 9-7 Crimson victory.
Coach Steve Pike's squad found out the hard way Saturday just how much separates the level of water polo play in the East from that of the West. Ranked number one in the nation last year and unlikely to be challenged this campaign. Stanford swam circles around a suddenly hapless Harvard team. The aquamen were happy to leave the pool alive, despite the 20-goal loss.
