They boys arrived in Wallingford with energy and enthusiasm. When the clock started the Tigers were ready to go.
Unfortunately, it all went downhill from there. The Tigers got blown out despite being the better team. Shooters were shy with the ball, unable to take advantage of Ben Bryan drawing 3 defenders all to himself.
The defense slowly fell apart as the boys grew frustrated with the game.
Final score 14-7
Goals scored by Ben Bryan, Kellen Booth, Chase Stevens, and others.

Team Overview
Water polo was established as a varsity sport at Suffield in 1979. The team has generally been built around a combination of experienced players and athletes new to the sport when they arrive at Suffield.
The Tigers’ competitive teams have qualified for the New England Prep School Championship tournament [a.k.a. “the Liquid Four”] in eight of the last ten years, including a second place finish in 2015 and an undefeated championship season in 2009. Hard work, perseverance, and camaraderie, as well as respect for teammates and competitors, are traditional hallmarks of the water polo team.
Suffield’s Varsity Water Polo team plays a mixture of single games and mini-tournaments throughout the season against New England Prep School league schools such as Deerfield, Exeter, Andover, Choate, Brunswick, Williston, Hopkins, Hotchkiss, and Loomis Chaffee, as well as non-league competition from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, including the season-ending New England Prep School Championship tournament.
