Strong Showing from the Gray Bee varsity water polo team in their Season Opener. Despite graduating key starters, including last year's standout goalkeeper and offensive MVP, St. Benedict’s varsity water polo team is quickly regrouping, showcasing its potential early in the season. Final Score: Pingry 13, St. Benedict's 9 Caleb Torres '26 made an impressive debut in goal, recording 23 saves, a remarkable effort for a first-time starter. Liam Vertreese '25 led the offense with 4 goals, 4 drawn major fouls, and 2 steals. Jonathan Martinez '25 added 3 goals to keep the Gray Bees within reach. Anthony Isin '25 contributed a well-rounded performance, including 1 goal, while JP Martinko netted his first varsity goal. The Gray Bees will face Pingry again in the upcoming Garden State Tournament but first turn their attention to a home matchup against Malvern this Friday, September 20. #TheHive #GrayBees #Newark #NewJersey #WaterPolo #GrayBeeSports #StudentAthletes
