FALL 2021…The Comeback

Welcome back folks,

It has been quite a while since BUMPOLO has made a post. It has been such a crazy past 2 years, but it is great to say that there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.

Here is a quick recap of what the new men of BUMPOLO faced this Fall 2021.

First off, we had our first scrimmage in over a year on Sunday, October 10th against Northeastern. Despite unfavorable pool conditions, your favorite Terriers persevered, and managed to pull out a comeback win from 2-6 to beat the Huskies 12-11. We had goals from returner Hoku Eggertsen and newcomers Ronan Nealis and Claudio Bettini. Goalie Parker Frost also had a good game

Next up was our rivals Boston College Sunday, October 17th. This game was a lot closer, with great performances all around. Freshman Alim Kura scored 4 goals this time around, while Hoku was among the goals again. Unfortunately we did not manage to get the win, but with a score of 10-12, we know we can definitely improve.

Looking ahead, we have our championship tournament coming up from October 30-31. Due to the shortened season and with this being the only tournament, it will be round-robin style. We will be playing UConn in our first game, followed by a game vs Dartmouth/Coast Guard. Provided we win both of these games, we will advance to Sunday’s games, during which we hope to clinch the final two games to win the title.
