9/12/09 -- After dropping their first game of the season on Friday night, the Bellevue Boys Water Polo team did not wait long to record their first victory of the 2009 season.  Less than 24 hours, to be exact.

Led by six goals from junior Chase Middlesworth, the Wolverines overcame a sluggish start to defeat Bainbridge Island, 14-4, on Saturday afternoon.  Senior Peter Linton scored two goals and had two steals, and fellow senior Justin Dellinger added three goals on six shots.  Senior Riley Smith added strong defense at the two-meter position, stifling the Bainbridge offense on several positions and contributing three steals.

Senior Doug Oakley, making his 2009 debut after being sidelined against CPA due to illness, chipped in two goals and an ejection drawn.  Junior Adrian Costarella tallied his first goal of the season to round out the scoring.

Bellevue (1-1) squares off against Emerald Ridge on Monday evening at 7:00pm, its third game in four days.
