2024 Fall Updates:
For new members looking to tryout for the team, we will be hosting competitive tryouts the second week of school in the fall. This is usually after the Fall Student Involvement Fair on the first Friday of the school year. That following Sunday we hope to see you at the pool at the Margot Connell Recreation Center.
2023 Off-season Update
During the off-season, the team traditionally has bi-weekly practices that focus on conditioning and fundamental play. The practices are often player-run and allow the upperclassman to build leadership skills in and out of the pool. NEW for the 2023 offseason, the Eagles traveled due South, deep in unfamiliar territory, to enter a highly competitive exhibition tournament at Florida State playing Florida State University, North Carolina State University, and the University of Alabama to reach the third-place game against Florida Atlantic. The teams in the pool of competition also included the University of Florida, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, and an FSU Alumni team. It was a great experience for the Eagles, who were coached by Alex Rudolph making his head coaching debut.

Eagles Place 12th @ 2021 Nationals
After falling to U-Penn 11-9 in the first round, BC came back with a win over Oregon State 10-9 to end the first day. The team rounded out the year with two losses over Florida State and Cornell to secure a 12th place finish at the 2021 Club Nationals Championships in an end to a 7-4 season and a great return back to water polo for the team.
We would like to thank all of our family and friends who supported the team in Huntsville, Alabama and throughout the season at our games and whose donations helped cover all travel expenses, league dues, and equipment that allow us to play the sport we love.

New England Champs 5-peat and Nationals Bound!
Thankfully, we received the go-ahead from BC Club Sports for holding a men’s water polo season in the fall. Yet there were still restrictions in place due to the pandemic, which the team diligently followed throughout the season. The team was eager to get after it in the pool and play in games for the first time in almost two years.
Throughout the season, we held four two hour practices a week and numerous in-person team events to build team spirit in and out of the pool. Because of a lack of hosts within our conference, the New England division was decided exclusively through a championship tournament, which was held on BC’s campus. The team attended a tournament in Philadelphia in early October for our first games of the season, and the first games for the team since the 2019 season. A couple weeks later, we headed down the T over to Boston University for a scrimmage, where we asserted ourselves as the best club team in Boston with a victory.
The regional championships were hosted at BC over Halloween weekend, where the team went 3-0 on the weekend and won the championship game with a gritty 11-10 OT victory over Dartmouth in front of a raucous home crowd, who helped create a great atmosphere for the team to draw energy from throughout the game. This victory sealed our 5th straight New England Division championship and earned the team a spot at the Club Nationals tournament in Huntsville, AL.

2020 Season In Review
Ultimately due to the pandemic which is still impacting the world at large, the decision was made to cancel the 2020 men’s water polo season with the hopes of returning for the 2021 season in the fall. This decision was made based on consultation of CDC guidelines, Executive Orders from the Governor of Massachusetts, and through working with BC and other universities within the New England conference.
While we were not able to hold a traditional season, we were able to hold conditioning and non-contact practices during the spring semester while following BC Club Sports and University Health Services guidelines. Outside of that, the team hosted zoom meetings to help keep team spirit and connection going in the midst of the restrictions placed on meeting in person. As the year ended we sent off a strong 6-man senior class who won three consecutive New England Division Championships and set the standard for future teams to follow.

13-2 Eagles Finish 10th @ 2019 Nationals
After falling to Michigan State 7-14 in the first round, BC came back to defeat University of Pittsburgh 16-10 and Army 13-7 in their next two games. The Eagles lost their 9th place game 5-9 to University of Texas, securing a 10th place finish at the 2019 National Tournament with a 13-2 final record on the season. Paced by their best defense and goalie play of the season, the Eagles once again proved their ability to compete on the national stage.
We would like to thank all of our family and fans for coming out to support the team at the University of Pittsburgh, as well as for their donations that made this trip possible. The team was able to bring 20 athletes to the tournament and funds helped cover all travel expenses, league dues, and equipment.

The hard work paid off for the Eagles as they defended their title and defeated Dartmouth College in the finals of the New England Championship Tournament.
A 13-4 win over Yale, and a 21-4 win over Northeastern set the stage for a showdown between the division rivals in the championship game. Constant offensive pressure and great goalie play propelled the Eagles to their 16-6 victory over Dartmouth College. With their 4th straight division championship, and fifth in six years, BC looks forward to traveling to the University of Pittsburgh for the National Championship Tournament (November 15th-17th). Sitting at 11-0, the season isn't done just yet. Follow the team on social media for more updates! Twitter: @BCMensWaterPolo Instagram: @bcmenswaterpolo |
