PROVIDENCE, RI - The St. Francis College Men's water polo team won their third straight ECAC Championship this weekend by defeating Navy, 10-9, in the title game held at Brown University. The Terriers advanced to the final with wins over Bucknell University (13-11) and Johns Hopkins University (17-8).

Freshman Pedja Predin led St. Francis with four goals, and got help from Botond Szalma and Milos Vuksic who tallied two scores apiece.  Goalie Dusko Radovanac was named MVP after playing a stellar game in net, stopping 15 of Navy's 24 shots on goal.

The game was a close throughout, until the Terriers scored three times in the fourth quarter.  With one minute remaining in the game the Middies scored to make it a 10-9 contest.  In the seconds remaining the Terriers were given an ejection for running out the clock, and then on the final drive the Terriers would get a power-play finishing the game.
