Over the weekend of April 12th, Binghamton Water Polo traveled south to Knoxville, Tennessee, for the 15th annual University of Tennessee Dogwood Invitational.
The tournament, well known as being the best held scrimmage on the entire East Coast, matched up BU Polo with fellow long distance travelers, the University of Washington Huskies, as well as the University of South Carolina, and a post-graduate club team "The Dynamo" from Atlanta, Georgia.

Along with a weekend of much appreciated fun in the sun during this competition, held within Tennessee outdoor pool facility, the Bearcats saw goals from Nicholas Drohan, Ari Krauss, and Michael Ryan.

While not netting a single victory in three tries over the weekend, the UT Dogwood Invitational served its purpose as a means of further developing the Bearcats young talent for the future, while giving former vice president Lindsay Burleson, former treasurer Maddy Micu, and former president David Bohr, a well deserved, and enjoyable, send off in what was inevitably their final tournament as undergraduate Bearcats. BU Polo will greatly miss these three, and all that they had done for the betterment and survival of the club.

Upon returning to Binghamton, BU Polo will hold on to the memories which Knoxville, Tennessee supplied them with, and look towards answering some of the questions which will be present on next year's roster. The team will have to work to fill two voids which will be left behind by the graduation of David Bohr, and the dual degree program loss of Turkish goalie, Deniz Pehvilan. David Bohr, who excelled at the 2-meter position, one of the toughest positions in the sport, was a pivotal part of the Bearcat offense over his four years in Binghamton; while Deniz Pehvilan's stellar goal play earned him the unanimous distinct as the team's Rookie of the year. Deniz will return to Binghamton University for the 2010-2011 season, but his absence form next year's team will leave the Bearcats for the second year in a row scrambling to find themselves a solid keeper.

Club Water Polo R.P.I. Invitational Recap: After an inauspicious beginning at the 11th Annual R.P.I. Invitational, BU Water Polo adapted in the face of adversity to put forth a valiant effort in Troy, NY.

Over the weekend of April 5th, the Bearcats squared off against Rochester Polytechnic Institute and Coast Guard Academy twice each. The match-up proved to be as even as they appeared to be on paper, as the weekend ended off in a 2-2 spilt of the four competitions our club took part in.

After starting the weekend off with a rather sloppy performance against R.P.I, losing 7-4 as a result, BU got the chance to redeem its self from the bitter taste of defeat against its New York Division Rival in a rematch to commence tournament play. In the rematch, senior Nicholas Drohan led the offensive attack with five goals en route to a 9-4 victory over an R.P.I. squad which was sporting a significantly larger roster. The spilt of the R.P.I. match-ups placed both teams in a 2-2 tie over the four times the rivals met up between New York Division play and tournament competition, and both clubs look forward to a future of hard fought struggles and continued excellence.

The weekend was highlighted by a 9-2 trashing of Coast Guard B. Over the course of the match-up juniors, Tina Billingiere and Pete Dzuik, scored there first goals ever in tournament competition, and rookie goalie, Deniz Pehvilan continued to shine between the pipes.
This weekend upcoming, [April 11-April13] BU Water Polo will be heading south to the University of Tennessee, for the UT Dogwood Invitational. Hyped as the best water polo tournament the East Coast has to offer, The Bearcats look forward to the outdoor tournament and a weekend full of fun, sun, and polo.

Women's Volleyball NWVCL Tournament @ Home

With 15 teams participating, the B team played well against Cornell and UMass while the A team captured 2nd in their pool and went on to the bracket play where they defeated Syracuse and went on to the quarter final game where they lost to Boston University (winners of the tournament).

Women's Volleyball NWVCL Tournament @ Rutgers University

At the first tournament with both A and B teams in participation, the women's teams played very well. The B team had a difficult pool that included Albany and UMass, with impressive play against each. The A team won first in their pool, defeating teams like UPENN and Drexel. In bracket play, the A team lost in the first round against Rutgers. It was a good way for both teams to gain more experience.

2nd Singles - Peter Ackerman (6-2, 4-6, 6-4) 4th Singles - Conor Quinn (6-1, 6-4) 6th Singles - Kevin Cheung (6-2, 6-4) 1st Doubles - Karyn Czapnik and Seth Miller (7-5, 2-6, 6-1) 2nd Doubles - Natalie Rynczak and Brian Kirkpatrick (6-1, 6-4)

Everyone was really excited about our first win, and they all had a great time! We were all really happy that we were able to have the opportunity to participate in matches this year and have it our semester culminate with this win.

Binghamton had just repeated as New York State Field Hockey League champions Saturday, with a 3-0 win over Buffalo in a rematch of last year's championship match. But tensions escalated at the end of the match, and an awards presentation ceremony never took place.

Binghamton (7-0), the top seed in the seven-team tournament, held a 2-0 lead over third-seeded Buffalo (6-2) with about four minutes remaining in regulation when things got chippy. BU midfielder Dominic Young, the lone boy on the team, had an exchange with a Buffalo midfielder- the two had played a very physical second half. Binghamton increased its lead to 3-0 with two minutes before the game ended.

It's something the Bearcats have noticed around the league: when you get this good this quickly, your opponents are not going to be too happy."I think it's really established us as a team," said Keane of another championship run. "Going into this tournament, other people on other teams thought we were going to win, and they said that out loud. We went from not even making the playoffs to winning a championship the following year and then defending it this year."

Binghamton has lost just one game over the last two seasons, winning the league title last year, 2-1 over Buffalo. The Bearcats also defeated Buffalo 4-1 during this year's regular season.

"I'm just really proud that we were able to pull together, returning players and incoming players, to be a cohesive unit," Cuan said.

In Saturday's finals match, Binghamton jumped out to 1-0 lead on an Anna Greene's goal from the right side eight minutes in. BU extended its lead at the start of the second half on freshman forward Mary Buschor's first goal of the game, off a corner. After a scramble in front of the goal coming off a corner, freshman forward Jane Donatich took a shot off that deflected to Buschor.

Earlier in the day, Binghamton defeated Cornell, 3-1, in the semifinal to advance to the finals. Buschor, Young and freshman forward Katie Everett scored for the Bearcats.

Bowling Tournament @ Cornell, Ithaca, NY

This was the Bowling Club's first tournament in a few years. It went very well, good experience and a lot of fun. The team came in 11th place out of 14 and our average was 24 pins below the placing. Hopefully, this is the start of a successful bowling team at Binghamton.

BU Water polo travelled to Hamilton, NY for the CWPA's New York Divisional Championship Tournament hosted by Colgate University. Entering this tournament as the ninth seed of eleven teams to compete this year, the Bearcats looked to show that they were indeed deserving of the higher placement they came into the season expecting.

The team entered the 2007 looking to figure out the answers to questions created by offseason losses and come season's end had found them. The main concern for the Bearcats was "who will be our new goalie?" and after tinkering with multiple options, rookie Deniz Pehlivan became the unanimous choice due to his stellar play between the pipes.

In what was the decisive game of the Bearcats season, a match-up which paired them against R.P.I. - a team with similar attributes and skill levels - Pehlivan's play in net was the difference maker. Earlier this season R.P.I. and B.U. faced off, with former club member Daniel Lewis in net, and the final score was a 13-11 loss. With the insertion of Pehlivan at keeper, BU picked up their biggest win of the season, a 5-4 final and as a result earned a club history high, 7th place finish in the CWPA New York Division.

Another major concern coming into season was "how will we fill the voids left by the graduation of club co-president Jackie Minichiello and the loss of key players Lloyd Sindorf, Ari Krauss, Maddy Micu and Lindsay Burleson to study aboard programs?" With water polo not necessarily a popular sport on the east coast, losing five core members was a very daunting situation baring down upon the club going into 2007. A strong rookie class, along with the progression of many second year players aided in putting this issue to rest, as the team currently stand stronger than it was come this time last year. Second year player Darien Sutton has shown vast improvements as our sprinter and in the flat, an offensive position close to the goal on the left or right side of the pool. Darien also scored his first goal in competition to start off the 5-4 victory ov
